The Mozilla Project

#### An "Operating System" within the Operating System

Netscape Communications announced back in 1998 that they would open source their popular Netscape Communicator client. Only days afterwards the first developers started working on the code.

Today many projects are hosted on Mozdev.org and new one are registered every day. mozilla.org is a group chartered to act as the virtual meeting place for the Mozilla code. That group is overseen by the Mozilla Foundation. All software are released Mozilla Public License.

Mozilla has all the standard Web browser functions and a lot more: Navigator, Mail, Composer and Address Book. Many users found this application to big and containing software that they didn't have the use for. This is where Firefox and Thunderbird started. Both browsers, Mozilla and Firefox, can be extended with extensions (XUL applications).

Another widely used project is Bugzilla, the reporting system also used by yellowTAB.
