"Security, Cool Features Of Firefox Web Browser Beat Microsoft's IE" - Walt
Mossberg, Wall Street Journal

• Mozilla Firefox:
  Our next generation browser will simplify and speed up your browsing experience.
  
• Thunderbird:
  Our next generation standalone e-mail and newsgroup client can be used as a
  companion to Mozilla Firefox or by itself. Lightweight, fast,
  extensible and featuring sophisticated junk mail filters, Thunderbird

We are a software development tools provider

The tools we've built to develop and manage our own
projects power hundreds of open source projects.

• Bugzilla:
  the Mozilla bug tracking webtool to help you track progress in fixing
  bugs and implementing features that affect your applications.
  
• Bonsai:
  a web interface to the checkin log that you can query for checkins
  between certain dates, of certain files, or by certain developers.
  
• Tinderbox:
  our 24/7 build and test webtool that constantly builds, tests, and
  reports on the Mozilla application suite on multiple platforms so you
  can see the state of the application at any given point in time.
  

We are an open source community of developers and testers

• The Mozilla project's launch by Netscape in 1998 was
  
  a defining moment for the open source movement. We continue to
  be a leader and partner in open source development, providing low cost
  and alternative choices for technology. And, with millions of users,
  we are one of the largest distributors of open source software.
  
• We have a large, active
  development community that interacts via newsgroups, mailing lists,
  IRC channels, and web sites. We welcome
  all newcomers.
  
• Our development takes place in the public eye. See our
  development roadmap for the directions our
  technology is heading.
  
• We believe and practice the canons of open source development:
  release early and often, listen to your users, and
  
  given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow.
  

We are a partner for the technology industry

• You can join the many companies and organizations
  that are using, distributing, and assisting in the development of
  Mozilla technologies. Mozilla partners include IBM, Sun Microsystems,
  Hewlett Packard, Red Hat and Linspire. Leading enterprises and
  large institutions around the world, including numerous universities
  and the French Ministry of Agriculture, have already switched to Mozilla.
  
• We provide a wide variety of information to assist in developing
  products based on mozilla:
  
  • Flexible open source licensing conditions.
  • Embedding information.
  • Configurability and customization information.
  • 
    A
    Client Customization Kit.
    
  • XUL Planet -
    Information site for XUL (XML User Interface Language) and
    Mozilla XPCOM (Cross-Platform Component Object Model).
    
  • A new project to deploy Mozilla on
    small-footprint devices.

  tool for inspecting and editing the structure and widgets of your user
  interface while your application is running.
  

We are educators, providing educational materials about Internet
technologies and software development

  software developers,
  web developers and
  end-users.

  a project to develop and improve
