currently i'm using mozilla 1.6 for my web browsing and email.
i heard people saying some good things (faster, smaller, etc) about firefox, comparing them with mozilla and stuffs..

i'm not sure if firefox is based on mozilla, or the other way round.
or maybe if they're even two separate things.

but anyways, the one thing i'm wondering...
since i'm using mozilla for both browsing and email, is there any good reason for switching to firefox+thunderbird?
or mozilla is better for both?

i just don't like how mozilla eats up my resources when i have too many tabs open, though T-T

i just want people's opinion, that's all -)

thanks.

I like the "feel" of Firefox compared to Mozilla.. Mozilla reminds me too much of Netscape which I hate.

If you're using both, then the real difference between them is the feel of the interface. I personally like Firefox's much better than Mozilla's, but YMMV.

Firefox is based on the same rendering engine as Mozilla, and will eventually replace it somewhere down the line.

hmmm... so having separate firefox+thunderbird is better than mozilla alone?
well, i'll give it a consideration and maybe make the switch when both hits 1.0 (which seems to be not too long from now)

any more opinions?
