What on earth are you talking about.

I worked at a company that built a web app. We recorded 50+ separate crashers for various version of netscape 3-4. There was a running internal contest about the shortest html that could crash netscape. And the funniest. And the most interesting. It was utter shit software.

I think OP might have only remembered Gecko based Netscape. As a side note, I wonder how many of the crashes would be considered exploitable nowadays.
