EDIT: Who feels like explaining why it's a clone of Firefox.. even the extensions bit points to you update.mozilla.org.. can they do that? I'm not understanding something here.
Yes "they" can.
It is based upon Firefox's engine (which is based upon the same Gecko engine). That's the whole point of Netscape, it uses the same updated engine(s) and after all the bugs are fixed they build a new browser. Hence Netscape is more stable then Firefox... (<= very very shortly explained)
To know exactly how the relationship is between the browsers Netscape, Mozilla, FireFox and engines like Gecko, you need to read up on the history of Netscape (the company). Note that Firefox, Mozilla, etc... were essentially created by Netscape in the first place!!!
another small sidenote: Netscape is the only browser (from the mozilla family) that is officialy supported by Microsoft! Nice example/benefit: all the default-browser troubles you might have with FireFox, but not with Netscape.
