The development effort has
clearly been with Firefox for the last few years.
Slackware kept Mozilla so that the project could offer the Mozilla Composer. The Slackware
project noted that Mozilla Composer is a WYSIWYG HTML editor that is still used by
many open source enthusiasts as an alternative to Microsoft FrontPage for ease-of-use Web page
development.

Running Applications Part IV
In addition to the Navigator Web browser, the Mozilla suite also includes the following features:
Mail and Newsgroups??”A full-featured program for sending, receiving, and managing
e-mail, as well as for using newsgroups. (The mozilla-mail RPM must be installed.) Mozilla
Mail has mostly been replaced by the Thunderbird application, covered previously.
IRC Chat??”An Internet Relay Chat (IRC) window, called ChatZilla, for participating in
online, typed conversations. (The mozilla-chat package must be installed.)
Composer??”A Web page (HTML) composer application.
Address Book??”A feature to manage names, addresses, telephone numbers, and other
contact information. This is also part of Thunderbird.
Using Firefox
Most Linux distributions ship Firefox as the default browser, instead of the older Mozilla suite. In
many desktop Linux distributions, you start the Firefox Web browser from an Applications menu.
