Well, Netscape is based on the layout engine, not actual Firefox. Just the way it renders the elements. There are quite a few layout engines, for which every developer should have at least one browser with each layout engine to ensure their website works perfectly with it - the most popular ones, anyway:

Gecko (Mozilla)
GtkHTML (GNOME)
iCab (Alexander Clauss)
KHTML (KDE)
Presto (Opera)
Robin (Ritlabs)
Tasman (Microsoft)
Trident (Microsoft)
WebCore (Apple)
