You did ls -la ~/.netscape/cookies I presume?
as specified by the above line, .netscape will be in your home dir,
maybe /home/bret/.netsacpe.

Whereis looks for files in what it calls the 'usual' places, maybe also
the path, I did not look to hard, but unless your path has . in it, then
it's not going to find it in your home dir.
If you must use some search program for a file not in the path
find / -name .netscape
is probably a good start..
The ~/ means the home dir of the currently logged in user..
