Don't have Netscape, but in Mozilla...

If what you want is always the frontmost window, it's window 1

tell application "Mozilla"
	tell window 1
		set winStuff to properties
	end tell
end tell
set winStuff to winStuff as list
set theURL to item 3 of winStuff


Otherwise:

tell application "Mozilla"
	repeat with i from 1 to (count of windows)
		set oneWin to name of window i
		if oneWin contains "What you're looking for" then
			set winStuff to properties of window i
			set winStuff to winStuff as list
			set theURL to item 3 of winStuff
			exit repeat
		end if
	end repeat
end tell

  "URL of window i" doesn't work for me in Mozilla.  The Mozilla 
dictionary supplies no classes.
