Mozilla or Mozilla Firefox - Opinions please!

Stinkerbell · July 30, 2006, 09:32:54 AM

I have used them both, like them both, but for some reason I went with Mozilla. I'd like to hear what everyone's opinion is, why so many here choose Firefox over regular Mozilla. Is it 'lighter', easier to use and less problems?
Thanks!!!

They are not exactly the same - I once heard that Firegfox is a 'lighter' version of Mozilla which is fine for me, but I wasn't sure.

I wasn't sure where to post it, but figured since it wasn't a tech 'support' question per se, it would be okay here.
I will keep checking and THANK YOU for your post.
Thank you again, and I'll look in both places. I'm still kinda new at this. :)

BTW, I enjoy your posts. :)

I had no idea that there was a Mozilla browser that wasn't Firefox...
You've stumped me on this one. I have been using Firefox for about a year and I adore it.

I'm not 100% sure of all the differences, and perhaps it's because Mozilla uses Netscape? I don't know. I do have all of my homepages set to msn, on mozilla, ie and firefox. Basically what I was wondering was, is Firefox a smaller program maybe? I know that there are more preference options available on my Mozilla page... is that because it's Netscape? If they are the same thing, why are they called different things and why are the files themselves different? Hmmmmmmm....... well, see... that's why I came here to ask the experts! I'm learning something new ;)

One is Mozilla Netscape (or the old netscape) the other is Mozilla firefox... same parent company different off shoots... and it is all a matter of preference

I have firefox and ie...but to be honest alot of my agents work great on Msn explorer. I know msn is a shadow of ie...but sherlock likes it better.

that's my two cents
