   Mozilla is the all in one suite approach, unlike Firefox/Thunderbird   
   which are component approaches.   
      
   You might be interested in SeaMonkey then, which is the same Mozilla you   
   are using now, updated.   
   When Mozilla.org decided to concentrate on the component approach (i.e   
   Firefox and Thunderbird) a group of users got together and decided that   
   they preferrred the suite model so much they were not going to let it   
   die. So while Mozilla.org has stopped development and update of Mozilla   
   suite at 1.7.13, SeaMonkey has taken it beyond that. SeaMonkey is up to   
   1.0.5 now   
      
      
   Since all 3 products (Firefox, Thunderbird and SeaMonkey) are available   
   for download, then I suggest the best approach is to try them out on   
   your own. Decide for yourself which you prefer
