Firefox or Mozilla?

I'm just wondering which one you use and your reason for using it over the other.

I like them both, but voted Firefox because that's what I'm currently using.

I like FF...I use it most of the time...

I dunno...mozilla...netscape...eww, old. I never liked netscape, so I don't like mozilla much. I mean, it IS a good browser...just doesnt appeal to me. FF is the new gen.

im a fan of Opera...just havent bothered to completely switch over...

I liked the Mozilla Suite when firefox wasn't claiming more of its development time. Aren't they planning on merging the two in the future, so that the Suite is simply a more combined interface for Firefox and Thunderbird?

I also voted FF as it is what i am using now. I have used Mozilla before, but never cared for it much as a browser.

I voted FF.
When I put a bookmark on the bookmark toolbar, with FF if there is an option for a site logo FF will use it, with Mozilla all I see is a green line for each bookmark and the title.

I like to get rid of the title and have just the site logo, so I can have a bunch of bookmarks on the toolbar. Other than that I don't see alot of difference between the 2.

Looks like I'm in the minority here ... although I use both, somehow Mozilla just feels more stable, and it seems a little quicker on my computer. It's easy to get Firefox bloated when you load the plugins!

Mozilla is a complete package (a suite).
I like the component thing about Firefox / Thunderbird.

Firefox, btw Mozilla announced that they are discontinuing development of the Mozilla 1.7 suite. Firefox, Thunderbird, and Sunbird now comprise the new "Mozilla Suite"
