  * A software development tools provider.
  * An open source community of developers and testers.
  * A partner for the technology industry.
  * An advocate for standards on the Net who provides tools for developing standard web content.
  * Educators, providing educational materials about Internet technologies and software development.
  
  We are leading innovators, developing the next generation of web browser and e-mail software
  
  "Security, Cool Features Of Firefox Web Browser Beat Microsoft's IE" - Walt Mossberg, Wall Street Journal
  
  * Mozilla Firefox: Our next generation browser will simplify and speed up your browsing experience.
  * Thunderbird: Our next generation standalone e-mail and newsgroup client can be used as a companion to Mozilla Firefox or by itself. Lightweight, fast, extensible and featuring sophisticated junk mail filters, Thunderbird sets a new standard for e-mail software.
  We are a software development tools provider
  
  The tools we've built to develop and manage our own projects power hundreds of open source projects.
  
  * Bugzilla: the Mozilla bug tracking webtool to help you track progress in fixing bugs and implementing features that affect your applications.
  * Bonsai: a web interface to the checkin log that you can query for checkins between certain dates, of certain files, or by certain developers.
  * Tinderbox: our 24/7 build and test webtool that constantly builds, tests, and reports on the Mozilla application suite on multiple platforms so you can see the state of the application at any given point in time.
  
  We are an open source community of developers and testers
  
  * The Mozilla project's launch by Netscape in 1998 was a defining moment for the open source movement. We continue to be a leader and partner in open source development, providing low cost and alternative choices for technology. And, with millions of users, we are one of the largest distributors of open source software.
  * We have a large, active development community that interacts via newsgroups, mailing lists, IRC channels, and web sites. We welcome all newcomers.
  * Our development takes place in the public eye. See our development roadmap for the directions our technology is heading.
  * We believe and practice the canons of open source development: release early and often, listen to your users, and given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow.
  
  We are a partner for the technology industry
  
  * You can join the many companies and organizations that are using, distributing, and assisting in the development of Mozilla technologies. Mozilla partners include IBM, Sun Microsystems, Hewlett Packard, Red Hat and Linspire. Leading enterprises and large institutions around the world, including numerous universities and the French Ministry of Agriculture, have already switched to Mozilla.
  * We provide a wide variety of information to assist in developing products based on mozilla:
  o Flexible open source licensing conditions.
  o Embedding information.
  o Configurability and customization information.
  o A Client Customization Kit.
  o XUL Planet - Information site for XUL (XML User Interface Language) and Mozilla XPCOM (Cross-Platform Component Object Model).
  o A new project to deploy Mozilla on small-footprint devices.
  * Ready to partner with Mozilla or deploy Mozilla in your enterprise or institution? Check out our Partners page.
  
  We are an advocate for standards on the Net and provide tools for developing web standards content
  
  * Mozilla offers the best implementations of Internet standards.
  * Venkman: a JavaScript debugger with support for breakpoints, conditional breakpoints, local variable inspection, watch variables, single step, stop on error, profile data collection, report generation, code reformatting (pretty printing), and more.
  * DOM Inspector: a tool for inspecting and editing the structure and widgets of your user interface while your application is running.
  
  We are educators, providing educational materials about Internet technologies and software development
  
  * We have developed documentation for software developers, web developers and end-users.
  * We have started a project to develop and improve knowledge about Mozilla technologies, particularly in the form of educational material that can be distributed and reused in a variety of instructional settings.

  Thunderbird 1.5
  
  Full-Featured Email
  Simple to use, powerful, and customizable, Thunderbird is a full-featured email application. Thunderbird supports IMAP and POP mail protocols, as well as HTML mail formatting. Easily import your existing email accounts and messages. Built-in RSS capabilities, powerful quick search, spell check as you type, global inbox, deleting attachments and advanced message filtering round out Thunderbird's modern feature set.
  Junk Mail Filters
  Each email you receive passes through Thunderbird's leading-edge junk mail filters. Each time you mark messages as spam, Thunderbird improves its filtering so you can spend more time reading the mail that matters. Thunderbird will also use your mail provider's spam filters to keep junk mail out of your inbox.
  Anti-Phishing Protection
  Thunderbird protects you from increasingly common email scams—also known as “phishing”—which try to fool you into handing over your passwords and other personal information. Thunderbird will tell you when it thinks a message might be a scam.
  Advanced Security
  Thunderbird provides enterprise and government grade security features including S/MIME, digital signing, message encryption, support for certificates and security devices. Attachments are never run without your express permission, protecting you from many worms and viruses.
  Automatic Updates
  The new Software Update feature makes it easy to get the latest security and feature updates to Thunderbird. Thunderbird automatically downloads these small updates in the background and prompts you when they are ready to be installed.
  Customize Thunderbird
  Select new button controls for your toolbars, install extensions to add new features, or change the look of your browser with themes—the way Thunderbird looks and works is under your control.
