Among the many discussions of Firefox:

> As useful as the features and usability tweaks are, there is something much more interesting about Firefox and Thunderbird, and that is the sense you are dealing with well-polished end user applications and not collections of components. Firefox and Thunderbird represent a new breed of open source projects that are first and foremost, products. They have a clear focus on end users, well articulated missions, and critically, keen brand awareness. It will be interesting to see if and how Mozilla evolves beyond the mail/browser pair into a set of infoware-tools that move beyond the ageing and increasingly less relevant productivity suites. Desktop search, IM, media management, feed reading and music all seem like candidates. \[[Bill de h�ra](https://www.dehora.net/journal/2004/11/no%5Fmore%5Freasons%5Fto%5Fstay%5Fwith%5Fmozilla.html?ref=lorcandempsey.net "Bill de h�ra")\]
