mozilla browser and firefox

what is the deferents between these browser Mozilla firefox, Mozilla o.1 , and netscape 7.2 confusing

thank you

 

Mozilla Firefox 1.0 is the latest final version, and it is a new set up, different from the Mozilla browsers, and it has only the Navigator. It needs an external mail client. I use the comparable Mozilla Thunderbird as default mail.
There is no such thing as Mozilla 0.1. A more complete name would be Mozilla Firefox 0.1 in different forms, and they were the beta builds of the present Firefox.
Netscape 7.2 is a branded for of the Mozilla suite, meaning that it has propriatary additions which makes it different from Mozilla 1.7.2. A suite is a package containing Navigator, Mail, etc.

Mozilla is our legacy application suite which was designed to replace
the Netscape Communicator 4.x suite of applications. It includes a Web
browser, an email and news reader client, an HTML authoring and
publishing tool, an IRC chat client, and several powerful Web
development tools (like the DOM Inspector and the JavaScript Debugger.)

Firefox is a full-featured, fast, and powerful Web browser which tries
to do one thing and to do it right. It lacks the email, IRC, and HTML
authoring tools, but if you're just interested in a Web browser (IE
replacement) it's significantly faster than Mozilla and it's also much
easier for most former IE users to quickly get accustomed.

The Mozilla application suite and Firefox share the same rendering
engine (called Gecko,) so both will display Web pages pretty much
identically and both of them benefit from the aggressive Gecko rendering
engine development advances. However, the Mozilla suite's feature set
and overall user interface and user experience are mostly stabilized and
we don't expect dramatic improvements or additions, whereas Firefox will
be pushing the envelope with new and exciting features in v1.5, 2.0,
etc. to make the Web better.

Hope that helped some.

As Westside has told you, the Netscape Mozilla difference is that Mozilla has none of the AOL features, i.e., Netscape Webmail, AIM, etc.
