My suggestion is to get a different browser (galeon, konqueror, or
mozilla are strongly recommended), disable flash in it, and get a
freestanding Flash viewer for the rare time when Flash is useful.  One
was mentioned here in the past day or so that's licensed under GPL.

Netscape just hangs.  It doesn't generally log output, though you might
be able to get some hints running it from the command line or:

    $ strace netscape
