    I think you misunderstand what Firefox is. Firefox is just the new name for the browser component of Mozilla. It's all the same open source project, they just changed the naming around a bit.
    Not true. Firefox uses the same technology [XUL, Gecko etc.] but IS not "the same with some name changes". Originally Firefox was based on Mozilla but but they redesigned it step by step. First taking out the mail UI and prefs and then redesigning the UI and adding Firefox only features, extension manager etc etc.

    At bugzilla you can file bugs against the suite [mozilla browser+mail], firefox [a browser-only implementation], thunderbird [mail-only implementation] and core components [covering "rendering", "dom", "forms" etc etc.]
