What is Mozilla?
什么是Mozilla？

Mozilla is an open-source web development project.
Mozilla 是一个开放式资源网络开发项目。

The Mozilla Application Suite (also known as SeaMonkey) is a complete set of web applications; a browser, a mail client, a news client, a chat client and more.
Mozilla应用程序组（如：SeaMonkey）是一个完整的网络应用程序组（包括：浏览器、email客户端、新客户端、聊天客户端，以及更多的内容）

Firefox is just a browser. With Firefox you cannot chat or read emails or news. This makes it smaller, faster and easier to use (but makes chat, email and news harder to use?).
火狐只是一个浏览器。通过火狐，你还不能聊天或阅读新闻。这使得它小巧、迅捷并更易使用（但是，这难道也以为着在聊天、email和新闻的使用上将有所不便？）

You can read about Mozilla in the previous chapter.

Firefox And Mozilla
火狐 和 Mozilla

Firefox was previously called Mozilla Firebird (which was previously called Phoenix, which was previously called Mozilla).
火狐的前一个版本叫做Mozilla 火鸟（它的先前版本称为：凤凰，在前面一个版本称为Mozilla）。

The confusing name changes have something to do with legal issues (I think). You can read more about the Mozilla name changes in the previous chapter.
这样令人眼花缭乱的名字的改变应该适合法律有着千丝万缕的联系（我是这样认为的）。你可以在前一章阅读更多关于Mozilla名称改变的内容。

It is expected that Firefox will be used as the default browser in a future version of the Mozilla Suite.
我们认为，火狐将作为未来Mozilla产品组里默认使用的浏览器。
