Mozilla Gains Popularity over Inernet Explorer and Outlook
Monday, November 17, 2003 by ScoobyWRX STi 04 | Discussion: WinCustomize News
Mozilla has recently been taking over the Internet scene with its producs, Mozilla Firebird and Thunderbird, both gaining in popularity. More and more users have been finding that their easy to use interfaces, and advanced features such as Tab-Browsing to get rid of having multiple IE windows open at a time (My personal favorite), and a flawless pop up remover. There are many themes, plugins, and extensions available for these programs. I suggest you head over to www.Mozilla.com and check them out for yourself.You can read why you should switch to these programs:
http://www.mozilla.org/products/firebird/why/ For Firebird
http://www.mozilla.org/products/firebird/ Also for Firebird
http://www.mozilla.org/products/thunderbird/ for Thunderbird
You can also read some great online articles from Joel and also Jon Udell

There are many other programs that Mozilla has to offer, I have begun to switch over to them and have never looked back! I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

i agree with you tom mccarthy, opera has had it long time already. the problem, i believe, has to do with the name, not the content... 
people are bias and they choose programs that sound cool most of the time.

Another feature some people may want to know about is auto reload, if you have tab browser extensions on, (can get in tools, options, extensions, get exten) is auto reload. Right click the tab and then go down to auto reload. You can have a page reload itself at 20 second intervals, 20, 40, 60, all the way to like 600 seconds. Nice feature if you always refresh a page like forum boards or something, just turn it on and you dont have to wroyy about it anymore

As for the question about the difference of Mozilla and Firebird.
1). Mozilla has built in email and news support
2). Mozilla looks like the old Netscape (out of the box so to speak)
3). Firebird is more like IE in looks, but is themeable as is Mozilla.
4). Firebird does not have built in email and news support, i.e. clients.
Both do tabbed browsing.
As for Opera... My reason or reasons for not using opera are
1). It costs
2). It seems (to me) difficult to add plugins and is not supported by plugins as much as IE or Netscape/Mozilla/Firebird. Again these are just my opinions. It has nothing to do with name. Since I have tried it and it did not appeal to me.
That's my 1/2 cent worth of an opinion and information.

I'm wondering where you got the stats that say mozilla is gaining on IE. After reviewing the stats for our website IE has a 97% usage while Mozilla has 0.8% usage.
So i'd like to know where you received your facts from that says whay you're saying is fact and not fiction.
Thanks

I love it. Those others are cool, but I like Netscape all around including the tabbed browsing.
Very useful.
Opera is good too and worth the money to pay for it. Didn't like Firebird because Windowblinds didn't skin it.
