Why UW choose Mozilla
In the fall quarter of 2002, University of Washington Computing & Communications discontinued its support for Netscape browsers in favor of the Mozilla browser.
Why? Here are some of their reasons:
- Block pop-up ads
- Tabbed browsing
- Faster web pages
- Support for multiple platforms
- Support for web standards

Mozilla was always *way* ahead of Netscape. All the cool features was in Mozilla, not in Netscape!
It's a shame that Netscape is dead, but it was never as good as browser as Mozilla. Mozilla was nice and clean. Netscape was bloated!
Mozilla is the future. Now we just gotta convince all the IE users of that....

You must be referring Mozilla Firebird as Mozilla and not the awful bloated Seamonkey

I like Mozilla Firebird but why would they want something that is slower at most pages, sometimes rejected from sites(You must have IE to enter) and they have Avant browser
That makes me look like I hate Firebird but Avant is Seamonkey and worse

Mozilla Firebird slower than IE??? Mozilla Firebird is mush faster!
It's faster on standards sites, but slower on popular sites like cnn.com, very slow javascript(popups) though I don't need popups. DHTML is bad. Startup time is not IE quick(though IE gets system advantage, K-meleon is faster)
But middle-click, tabs, no loaded popups, is what makes firebird fast, not single page benchmark fast. Middle click is really handy
