Mozilla
Encyclopedia
Mozilla is a term used in a number of ways in relation to the Mozilla.org project and the Mozilla Foundation
, their defunct commercial predecessor Netscape Communications Corporation
, and their related application software
.
The term Mozilla is originally used for three distinct entities:
These and various other related uses of the term Mozilla are discussed below in the order when they were first used.
web browser
from its beginning. Jamie Zawinski
came up with the name during a meeting while working at the company. The name was created as a portmanteau of the words "Mosaic
killer", hinting that Netscape would be the end to the (then only) competitor browser, Mosaic. The logo was a reference to the name of the fictional monster Godzilla
.
of the now-disbanded Netscape Communications Corporation, formerly called Mosaic Communications Corporation. Initially, the mascot took various forms, including that of a helmeted astronaut
or "spaceman", but the eventual choice was a Godzilla-like lizard thought to go well with the name. It was designed by Dave Titus in 1994.
Mozilla was featured prominently on Netscape's website
in the company's early years. However, the need to project a more "professional" image (especially towards corporate clients) led to it being removed. Mozilla continued to be used inside Netscape, though, often featured on T-shirt
s given to staff or on artwork adorning the walls of the Netscape campus in Mountain View
. The color of the Mozilla lizard changed from its original green to a red version of the monster after the source code of the Netscape browser was released.
When Netscape acquired the website directory NewHoo in 1998, they re-branded it the Open Directory Project
with the nickname "dmoz" (Directory of Mozilla) due to its similarity to the Mozilla project. An image of Mozilla was placed on every page of the site, which remains the case today. Netscape Communications continued using the image of the red Mozilla in its iconography in the Mozilla.org project web site.
is generally sent to identify the user agent to the web server
. It is known as the "user agent string". The Netscape web browser identified itself as "Mozilla/
it was running on.
Because the Netscape browser initially implemented many features not available in other browsers and quickly came to dominate the market, a number of web sites were designed to work, or work fully, only when they detected an appropriate version of Mozilla in the user agent string. Thus, competing browsers began to emulate ("cloak
" or "spoof
") this string in order to also work with those sites. The earliest example of this is Internet Explorer
's use of a user agent string beginning "Mozilla/ (compatible; MSIE ... ", in order to receive content intended for Netscape, its main rival at the time of its development. This format of user agent string has since been copied by other user agents, and persisted even after Internet Explorer came to dominate the browser market.
"Mozilla" is sometimes used to refer to the free and open source software
project that was founded in order to create the next-generation Internet suite
for Netscape. The Mozilla Organization was founded in 1998 to create a new suite. On 15 July 2003, the organization was formally registered as a non-profit organization, and became Mozilla Foundation
. The foundation now creates and maintains the Mozilla Firefox
browser and Mozilla Thunderbird
email application, among other software. The Mozilla trademark is held by the Mozilla Foundation as of 2006.
, a wholly owned for-profit tax
able subsidiary
of Mozilla Foundation, that primarily focuses on delivering Firefox to end users. It also oversees marketing
and sponsorship of the products.
Netscape announced on January 22, 1998 that it would be relicensing its source code for future development. In March 1998, Netscape released most of the code
for its popular Netscape Communicator
Internet suite
under a free software/open source license, the Netscape Public License
. The application developed from this was named Mozilla, as this was the codename of the original Netscape Navigator. After a series of lengthy pre-1.0 cycles, Mozilla 1.0 was released on June 5, 2002.
Netscape programmers continued contributing to the open source Mozilla project and using that source code to create Netscape-branded releases which included the addition of proprietary software, more notably a commercial spellchecker and a lightweight version of the AIM and ICQ instant messenger integrated with the browser. All of these browsers showed the copyright notice and acknowledgements page when the user entered "About:mozilla" in the URL bar.
The suite was well known as the free/open source base of the Netscape
suite (versions 6 and 7), and its underlying code (most notably the Gecko
layout engine
) became the base of many standalone applications, including the Mozilla Foundation
's flagship products Firefox
and Thunderbird
. To distinguish the suite from the standalone products, the suite is often marketed as "Mozilla Application Suite", or the more concise "Mozilla Suite".
The Mozilla Foundation no longer maintains the suite, so that their developers can focus on Firefox and Thunderbird. The suite has been handed over to the SeaMonkey Council which has continued development with SeaMonkey
, an Internet suite developed by the Mozilla community that is based on the source code of the Mozilla Suite, and supersedes it.
, Camino
, Netscape 6
, etc. In some older Internet statistics programs, the term "Netscape 5.x" is incorrectly used to refer to these browsers because the user agent string starts with Mozilla/5.0.
application framework

user-interface toolkit, the Necko networking library, and other components. This is the core that all Mozilla-based browsers and applications are built from.
for Mozilla software projects such as Firefox
, Thunderbird
, and XULRunner
are managed collectively in a single Mercurial
repository
. This large codebase
is referred to as the Mozilla codebase, the Mozilla source code, or just Mozilla. Before Gecko 1.9 had branched, CVS
was used.
The Mozilla codebase was originally released under the Netscape Public License
. The license was updated to version 1.1 and renamed the Mozilla Public License (MPL)
. The Free Software Foundation
and others noted that a GPL
-licensed module and an MPL-license module cannot be legally linked, and they recommend that developers not use the MPL for this reason. To address this concern, the Mozilla Foundation relicensed great parts of the codebase in 2003 under the GNU General Public License
and GNU Lesser General Public License
as well as the Mozilla Public License
.
