  1. Re:Amazing how few realize Mozilla browser != Fire on Mozilla Foundation's Future: No Mozilla Suite 1.8 · · Score: 1

    Wow. You ought to actually know what you're talking about BEFORE you post. Firefox does not equal Mozilla browser. Firefox is a greatly 'dumbed down' version of the browser in Mozilla Suite. Best suited for kids and/or beginners.

  2. Nothing short of betrayal. on Mozilla Foundation's Future: No Mozilla Suite 1.8 · · Score: 1

    This is an outrage that is taking place within the Mozilla community. The "Mozilla Foundation", the folks who took over Mozilla and subsequently developed it's ugly stepson, Firefox, have essentially cast the "Mozilla Suite" over the side. This has the effect of tossing aside the estimated 40 million Mozilla Suite users worldwide. As you are surely aware, the Suite is the heir to the Netscape legacy, upon which millions of the original internet pioneerscut their teeth. Despite desperate appeals from many of us, the Suite users who stuck with Mozilla during its rough patches, all of our appeals have meant nothing to these egotistical and self-centered bastards. Needless to say, our sense of betrayal is profound. I am asking you to make your readers aware of the treachery taking place. I will provide you with some links. Newsgroup, where much info can be found. netscape.public.mozilla.seamonkey Official announcement..final nail in the coffin, if you will. The claim that they had always planned for this, and that everybody knew, is complete bull. There was never any hint that they would abandon the Suite. http://www.mozilla.org/seamonkey-transition.html This next one is a link to where a group of folks plan to try to take up development of the suite. If you wanna help, here's where. Note...programmers etc. are needed and all are welcome. http://wiki.mozilla.org/wiki/SeaMonkey:Home_Page "Mozilla's" semi official forum, where even the name 'Mozilla' has now been stripped from the suite, having been replaced by the once internal name for Mozilla Suite test builds. http://forums.mozillazine.org/ We urge you to make your readers aware of what is happening. Thank you for your time.
