of course, as I type that SeaMonkey 1.0 alpha is released, which is the new community driven version of Mozilla Suite (i was right, however, mozilla foundation isn't working on suite anymore)

I use both an equal amount of time, but since it didn't have that option, I voted Mozilla. In my XP box, I use Firefox. In Linux, I use Mozilla because that's what it came with and since they both work equally well, I don't see why I'd go through the trouble of installing Firefox.

Mozilla actually feels snappier (performance-wise) than Firefox does on my machines, but it doesn't have some of the features I've grown fond of using Firefox. I do wish they'd continue to develop Mozilla because it feels like the more stable browser of the two.

Hi ,
Yeah, i prefer firefox over mozilla. Mainly because all i want is a browser, as opposed to an entire suite. I use firefox in both linux and Windoze

While Mozilla is a very stable and robust browser suite, I use Firefox because they will ultimately be phasing out development of Mozilla. But I did not tell you that.

Firefox, it's newer, more stable, faster and better support.

I voted Firefox. I don't need all the fancy do-hickeys like email client and HTML composer...I like to have seperate applications for seperate tasks.
