If it is not full screen and you are used to it, it probably does help.  I
think the first times I saw this, I tried the back button and nothing
happened.  Several times, I would restart Netscape.  Then, when I got used
to a new page,  I would close the window and think "Oh, there is my page."  
So the small window is a good way togo.  One can always make it full screen
if the right buttons are there.
