You got that correct.

mozilla.org is the only one I know about.

I am not sure if the newsgroups are linked to mailing lists or not. I use the
newsgroups at news.mozilla.org.

There are a few bugs in Firebird that are not in the full Mozilla product. I
have installed both Mozilla 1.4 and Firebird. For me Firebird has one bug that
makes me use Mozilla 1.4 but depending on what you do you may not have any
problems. I am looking forward to Firebird because I only need a browser.

There a some DLLs to download with Firebird, I put them in the Firebird
directory, as I think they only apply to Friebird.
