Where is Mozilla (finding Mozilla.org) ? The main website for Mozilla is Mozilla.org, which is maintained by the Mozilla Organization. Note: this site can be intimidating to first time users: it has plenty of jargon, and warnings about things such as "binary distributions", "developer docs" and "nightly builds". Don't let this scare you away! Take this five minute overview of Mozilla.org or brush up on Mozilla jargonbefore you head there. Download Mozilla 1.0:Mozilla 1.0 was made available on June 5, 2002. This version is the final version so many of you have been waiting for! Get it while it's hot! (Note: Mozilla 1.1 alpha and 1.1 beta have already been released after Mozilla 1.0, but these have been not as stable as Mozilla 1.0. Mozilla 1.1 final should be released soon, and should be really, really fast and stable too.) It is highly recommended you read the following information before
installing or using Mozilla. If you still would like to download Mozilla without
reading this information, you can jump to the download tablebelow. Important: Read this document before installing Mozilla 1.0. 1)Do not install Mozilla 1.0 over a previously installed (earlier) version, such as Mozilla 1.0 RC 3 as this could lead to problems while using Mozilla. If you have a version of Mozilla older than 1.0 installed, you need to do one of the following things: a.) Install Mozilla 1.0 into a new directory, such as C:\Program Files\mozilla.org\mozilla1_0 OR b.) Uninstall the older version of Mozilla first, and then install verion 1.0 to same directory the older version of Mozilla was installed to. Important Notes: If you are using Netscape 6+ or 7.0 along with Mozilla, be sure to avoid using the same profile with both Netscape and Mozilla. This could cause your profile or data to become corrupted (damaged or unusable). If you have Netscape Communicator 4.x installed, there is no need to uninstall it - it should coexist perfectly with Mozilla. Before you install Mozilla 1.0 , it is highly recommended that you backup the following items: Your user profile (Your Profile contains your bookmarks, preferences, email files, passwords and more.) (How do I do this?) Your email files. (How do I do this?) 2.)It may be faster for you to download Mozilla from a mirror site in your country rather than the main Mozilla.org download site. II. Other important notes to keep in mind before using Mozilla: 1.)If you have installed Mozilla 1.0 over (i.e. in the same directory as) a previous version, it will probably not function correctly. If you experience weird behavior, the best solution is to uninstall all versions of Mozilla that you have, and to install Mozilla again. But before you do this, do back up your bookmark, email and profile files as listed in the "Guide to installing Moz 1.0" section. 2.)A tip for Netscape 7.0 PR 1 users: Do not share your Mozilla Profile with Netscape (even if you have Mozilla 1.0 RC 2+), because that can cause your Profile to get corrupted, or Netscape to malfunction. Instead, create a new Profile for Netscape 7.0 PR 1. III. Other general notes to keep in mind while using Mozilla: 1.) If you are using the classic theme, you may be unable to minimize
Mozilla. The two workarounds for this are:
