As one said, it has more bugs than new features :)

It's because of a bug in libc4*. It seems that the simplest way to cure it is to
run your own proxy http server and configure netscape to use it.

You were told it's _Beta_ 
and you didn't make backup

You were asked whether you want the previous files to be deleted
and you said 'yes'

That's all... Be on your own.

BTW, for me, the worst misfeature of netscape-2b is that it doesn't convert
former .netscape-history to new format.
