Introduction to Mozilla
Mozilla is a browser suite, the Open Source
sibling of Netscape. It includes the browser,
composer, mail client, a calendar client and an IRC client.
The Mozilla project also hosts two subprojects that aim to cater to the needs
of users who don't need the complete browser suite or like to have separate applications
for browsing and e-mail. These subprojects are
Mozilla Firefox,
(a stand-alone browser based on the Mozilla source code) and
Mozilla Thunderbird,
(a stand-alone mail client based on the Mozilla source code). The build instructions
for these two applications are discussed in separate sections:
