Debian consists only of Free Software, Netscape is not Free Software,
so it's not part of Debian The official Debian distribution contains
only main/ and contrib/, not non-free/.
But, there's also this section "non-free", which you can find on many
Debian mirrors. Netscape is there, so you can install it via the
internet.
Have a look at your /etc/apt/sources.list and 'man
sources.list'. There you can configure, where APT should search for
packages.
Sure there are web browsers in Debian...mostly text based. There's
also Mozilla, but a quiet old version (M14, AFAIK). If you want to try
Mozilla, I recommend the latest release M18 or the current nightly
builds..
