4 | <para><application>Mozilla</application> is a browser suite, the Open Source
|
---|
5 | sibling of <application>Netscape</application>. It includes the browser,
|
---|
6 | composer, mail client, a calendar client and an <acronym>IRC</acronym> client.</para>

|

8 | <para>The Mozilla project also hosts two subprojects that aim to cater to the needs
|
---|
9 | of users who don't need the complete browser suite or like to have seperate applications
|
---|
10 | for browsing and e-mail. These subprojects are
|
---|
11 | <ulink url="http://www.mozilla.org/products/firebird/">Mozilla Firebird</ulink>,
|
---|
12 | (a stand-alone browser based on the Mozilla source code) and
|
---|
13 | <ulink url="http://www.mozilla.org/projects/thunderbird/">Mozilla Thunderbird</ulink>,
|
---|
14 | (a stand-alone mail client based on the Mozilla source code). The build instructions
|
---|
15 | for these two applications are discussed in this section instead of having a
|
---|
16 | seperate section since the build instructions are very similar to those for
|
---|
17 | <application>Mozilla</application>. In addition, because of the similarity,
|
---|
18 | only the changes required with respect to
|
---|
19 | the <application>Mozilla</application> instructions are mentioned.</para>
