Then why call it "based on Firefox"? It isn't. Firefox and Kompozer share a common base, which is a different matter.ttuuxxx wrote:Yes everybody knows that Kompozer is a fork of NVU, since NVU is a dead project now.DMcCunney wrote:Not really.

Er, Mozilla is the name of the project that produced all of it (and the name of the foundation that currently owns it) . The foundation is the Gecko rendering engine, which underlies SeaMonkey, Firefox, Thunderbird, Sunbird, and Kompozer, as well as a few non-Mozilla products like the Flock browser, Songbird media player, and Komodo programmer's IDE from ActiveState.Kompozer is actually build on top of Mozilla, which is the backend of Firefox/Seamonkey.
I've been following the Mozilla efforts since it was still a development project of Netscape, and the first one I used was Netscape 6 (which should never have gotten out the door. The first usable code appeared in Netscape 7.)
