You are right, NCSA Mosaic is the first generation of browser written by Marc Andreessen who then established Netscape with James Clark from SGI. But Mozilla is a different thing ...

本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛Excerpt from Mozilla Release FAQ:

1.1) What is Mozilla?
Mozilla is a project to continue Netscape Communicator as an open project. The project is maintained by employees of Netscape (now a division of AOL), RedHat, some other companies, as well as contributors from the community.

1.2) On what is Mozilla based?
The Mozilla project started near the end of life of the 4.x line of Netscape Communicator. Originally, the plan was just to re-stabilize the code and release 5.0, but it was decided within the community that the more ambitious changes that were planned for later integration were close to being ready. The old layout engine, networking engine, and several of the older modules were gutted, and much later, the sources reached the point where Netscape was comfortable making a release, and so Netscape 6.0 was released. Mozilla 1.0 (Mozilla uses a different versioning system than Netscape) is due for release soon.

1.3) When was Mozilla released?
The source to Mozilla was first released on 31 March 1998. The code has been continually available since then via CVS (see section 1.8), and occasional binary releases (first as milestones, and more recently as versioned releases) have been made. As of the time of this update, Mozilla .92 is the most recent release.

1.4) What is the current version of Mozilla?
Mozilla is continually available via CVS, and also is occasionally released as versioned numbers. If built from CVS, the date of the CVS checkout is the best way to refer to the version, otherwise use the release number. Older versions used milestone numbers (e.g. the Milestone 7 release was known as M7).

1.5) What is the relation between Mozilla versions and Netscape versions?
The current arrangement between Netscape (AOL) and the Mozilla project is that Mozilla develops its own releases, and when Netscape (AOL) is preparing to make a release, it takes the current version of Mozilla, makes modifications, and does its own QA. In return for this, Netscape (AOL) pays many engineers to work on the project. The Netscape versions may have a different look/feel than Mozilla versions, and also may add proprietary features. The Netscape versions are all branded as Netscape (AOL) products.

  • 枫下家园 / 电脑用户 / 天使,专家,还有其他老大,试试用Netscape 6.2吧,比IE好多了,快多了。Pchome就有下载的。就是上Rolia时看上去糟了点。
    • 嘿嘿, 咱们的IE可以贴帖子, 不用换..... 气4你!
      • 你这厮,好心不得好报。……×※(×)#※(#…………¥×#※
    • I think you should try mozilla 0.9.9 instead. Netscape 6.2 is based on older version of mozilla.
      • I remember that it is mosaic. Mosaic is the first brower I used and it i was said that netscape is its descendant

    • IE市场份额越来越大。现在的IE绝对比NS好用,和系统集成在一起。是个习惯问题,懒得改了。
    • I prefer opera. small, but quick. URL: http://www.opera.com
      • Looks nice, fast, but not necessarily small. Still leaking memory somewhere (loading ads?), but it manages to reclaim it.
        • leaking memory? how do u test? I have run for days without problem. The latest version is much better than before(around two years ago).
          • Just open up task manager and watch. Actually it happened after visiting www.sina.com.cn, the memory usage began to grow up steadily, even if you stopped browsing ...
            Also my modem light is flashing constantly, memory usage is going up steadily, although slowly. Even if you switched away from sina, the modem light is still flashing, and I can see from my firewall that there are still connections to 210.52.214.199. The modem flashing stops only after I close opera.

            Very suspicious. Probably I'll grab some packets and see what's really going on when I have time.

            Anyways, when you minimize opera, the memory usage will drop down significantly, but still growing slowly and steadily.
