To avoid confusing organizations that still want to use the original Mozilla Suite, the new product needed a new name.

The project which became Firefox started as an experimental branch of the Mozilla Suite called m/b (or mozilla/browser).

Older Netscape releases were based upon the Mozilla Suite, which did include this functionality.

Noted open source software that compiles on the kit includes Mozilla Suite, XChat, and Pidgin.

The original Mozilla Suite continues to be developed as SeaMonkey.

Versions 6 and 7 of the Netscape suite were based on the Mozilla Suite.

The Mozilla Suite is available under the terms of the Mozilla project's tri-license, as free and open source software.

There were no official releases of the Mozilla Suite beyond version 1.7.13.

As of 2008, Mozilla Suite usage share was approximately 0.1%.

Despite having a different name and version number, SeaMonkey 1.0 is based on the same code as Mozilla Suite 1.8.
