| | Mozilla - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Mozilla is a computer term that has had many different uses, though all of them have been related to Netscape Communications Corporation and its related application software. | | | Mozilla is a trademark of the Mozilla Foundation and historically had been used internally as a codename for the Netscape Navigator web browser from its beginning. | | | "Mozilla" is sometimes used to refer to the free software / open source software project that was founded in order to create the next-generation internet suite for Netscape. |

| | Mozilla Foundation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Initially, the remit of the Mozilla Foundation grew to become much wider than that of mozilla.org, with the organization taking on many tasks that were traditionally left to Netscape and other vendors of Mozilla technology. | | | The Mozilla Foundation was launched on July 15, 2003 as America Online (AOL) drastically scaled back its involvement with Mozilla, laying off or reassigning most of the Netscape browser developers and announcing that it would no longer finance the day-to-day running of the project. | | | Mozilla Foundation Forms New Organization to Further the Creation of Free, Open Source Internet Software, Including the Award-Winning Mozilla Firefox Browser. |

| | Mozilla Corp. will work mainly on developing and delivering free software products such as the Firefox browser and Thunderbird e-mail program. | | | The Mozilla project was formed during the so-called browser war between Netscape Communications Corp. and Microsoft Corp. In 1998, Netscape released its underlying code in an effort to compete against Microsoft's Internet Explorer. | | | SAN JOSE, Calif. — The Mozilla Foundation that organizes development of the Firefox Web browser has formed a corporate subsidiary, an unusual move for a technology nonprofit. |

| | Mozilla Foundation Will No Longer Release Mozilla |
| | Mozilla Foundation President Mitchell Baker wrote that the move by the community developers shows the strength of the open source model. | | | In an open posting on Mozilla.org, the Mozilla Foundation said it had begun a transition plan in 2003 to focus development on the next generation browser, which was to become FireFox. | | | The Mozilla Browser's current trunk is done under the code name of "Seamonkey" which is now at version 1.7.5. |

| | Zak, who’s just joined the Mozilla Foundation, is a newcomer to the Mozilla project but is a veteran of projects like MySQL and PHP and has a wealth of experience in open source community development as well as in implementing programs to make community participation easier. | | | Creating a commercial spinoff (with all that entails) could certainly generate revenue, but there’s no guarantee that that revenue would go to support the public purpose of the project (and of course the work of project contributors, many of whom are volunteers, is the reason why there’s economic value in Firefox in the first place). | | | As a long-time participant in the Mozilla project I’m gratified by how far the project has come in the past few years, and I’m very excited about the prospects for the future. |

| | Mozilla FAQ - Using Mozilla |
| | While it is possible to have both Mozilla and Netscape 7 or different versions of Mozilla on the same PC (not recommended, in the latter case the different Mozilla versions need to be in separate directories) you need to create separate profiles for each application. | | | Note to Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird users: Many of the FAQ questions where only the Mozilla Suite and Netscape 7 are mentioned apply to Firefox and Thunderbird, as well. | | | This problem is fixed for Mozilla 1.4.1 and 1.5, so upgrading to Mozilla 1.5 or 1.4.1 when you are experiencing this problem is recommended. |

| | Mozilla Foundation to ban Firefox derivative browsers? |
| | It shouldn´t be surprising then that due to Goodger´s past at the Foundation and his involvement in leading the Firefox browser development, his words are often misinterpreted as representing the project. | | | Then, the Mozilla Foundation (now commonly referred to as MoFo in the mozillaspeak lingo) started pushing the separate e-mail and web browsers, instead of the integrated suite, and a whole marketing operation was created around MoFo's now separate components (Firefox and Thunderbird) targeting the end-user audience. | | | Finally, I wonder why should companies contribute or fund the Mozilla Foundation, if any derivative work or redistribution of the Foundation's browsers they create is going to raise the FUD mocking and anger of Mozilla's "lead engineer". |

| | Fool.com: Next Target: Mozilla? [Motley Fool Take] July 9, 2004 |
| | Out on the Net, reports said Mozilla's flaw only affects Windows XP or 2000 machines, and isn't a problem for people who use Mozilla while running Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) or Linux operating systems. | | | Some argue that the flaw is still intrinsically linked to Windows and XP, and therefore technically a "Microsoft problem." Of course, there's also a certain degree of lauding of Mozilla for the quick response to the vulnerability. | | | That was when the U.S. government's Computer Emergency Readiness Team (CERT) suggested that Microsoft's (Nasdaq: MSFT) Internet Explorer was just too dangerous to use right now. |
