Bob, 

Did you see this note on the Mozilla site:

Summary: when installing Netscape 6 Preview Release, available at

http://www.netscape.com/download/previewrelease.html?cp=djusea, choose
the "Custom" install option and make sure the "Sun Java 2" box is
checked. If you have security problems accessing applets outside of your
firewall, see this note.

Details:
Now that Netscape 6 Preview Release is available, many are asking: does
Java work? Happily, the answer is yes, but not by default. Currently,
Java only works on the Win32 version of Netscape 6 Preview Release, and
you must choose either the "Complete" or "Custom" option when installing
Natscape 6. When you choose the "Custom", you must make sure the "Sun
Java 2" box is checked. This will install JRE1.3 Release Candidate 1,
then apply a special set of files on top of the JRE 1.3 area that
enables Java to work in Netscape 6.
