Mozilla Products - Enhance Web Productivity
These programs helps me perform better and that is a fact i need to express loudly. These free tools are the direct descendants from the
first browser known as Mosaic.
SeaMonkey Project
SeaMonkey has inherited the successful all-in-one concept of the
original Netscape Communicator and continues that product line based on
the modern, cross-platform architecture provided by the Mozilla project.
Web-browser, advanced e-mail, newsgroup and feed client, IRC chat,
and HTML editing made simple -- all your Internet needs in one
application.
The award-winning Firefox browser is now faster, more secure, and fully customizable to your
online life.
We love tabs as much as you do, so Firefox 2 will open new web pages in tabs by default. Each of those tabs has its own close button,
but don't worry - if you accidentally close a tab, just go to the History menu to bring it back from the list of "Recently
Closed Tabs." You'll never be crunched for space anymore, either. When you have too many tabs open to comfortably fit in a
single window, scroll arrows will appear on either side, and a button on the right side will always show you an easy-to-read list of all
your open tabs.
Mozilla Thunderbird
Advanced Folder Views
Thunderbird 2 offers a variety of ways for you to organize and display your folders, whether by favorites, recently viewed or folders
containing unread messages. As always, you can also set up RSS and newsgroup folders to stay on top of news and your interests.
Thunderbird 2 also allows you to maximize your message view pane by opting for a folder drop down menu instead of the traditional
sidebar.
The Mozilla Suite is the original all-in-one Internet application
created by Mozilla. ( Use the Seamonkey Project Below)
Web-browser, advanced e-mail and newsgroup client, IRC chat client, and HTML editing made simple
Mozilla's HTML editor keeps getting better with dynamic image and table resizing, quick insert and delete of table
cells, improved CSS support, and support for positioned layers. For all your simple documents and website projects, Composer is all you
need.
