I ain't afraid of no code.

This site is a resource for independent Mozilla-based development.

The basic vision is to list every past and present mozilla-based effort and provide resources or links to resources. It is long past time to continue doing that.

In addition to the list of XUL (and beyond) Mozilla-based applications and the resource links in the sidebar… We are currently providing code cross-reference and (additional) IRC Channel Logging for the SeaMonkey Project, among other bits and bobs that help fill the gap. Such as the newly launched SeaMonkey Contributed Community Infrastructure which lists all the SeaMonkey community resources not just the ones we provide.

Keep in mind, this is all merely the smallest sample of what can be done when we remember that even if Mozilla, the corporation, has long stopped being "mozilla", that in no way should mean WE should stop as well. Our Netscape forefathers gave us a powerful legacy that some simply don't want. I, however, refuse to accept that I or you, for that matter, can't have it at all for that reason.

The Originals

The SeaMonkey Project IS the original Mozilla fork in more ways than one. It has been an inspiration to many for some 20 years as it has charted its own unique course and continues to navigate towards The Future™.

Other Pioneers

• Classilla [No longer active]
• TenFourFox [No longer active]
• Kompozr [No longer active?]

Classical XUL Applications

These are applications that for better or worse stick to an interpretation of Classic Mozilla. Many are no longer active and a few evolved.

Other Projects

• GNU IceCat
• Firefox-based Flock Social Browser
• Cyberfox
• Waterfox Classic and earlier
• 64bit Firefox Rebrands
• Thunderbird-based Eudora
• The Original GeckoFx
• Every XULRunner-based Project (UXP Doesn't count).
• Anything that used MozEmbedding in the late-2000s
• Others…

Modern Mozilla-based Applications

These projects have gone beyond the quantum divide, past classical XUL, to continue the good fight in arbitrarily charted waters. Some are newcomers to the fray.

Conclusion

We're all smart enough to know there isn't —ONLY— XUL out there. Well some of us are, anyway.

There are always those who will begin to believe their own propaganda.

For the rest of us, the technology is just that.. The technology. The benefits come from what you can do with it. Which is still unmatched even on the modern web let alone for its time. XUL becomes a set of principles and a declaration to follow them.

Indeed, far from being some long dead XML technology from an old and insecure Mozilla codebase, it is THE technology, that regardless, has remained a KEY inspiration for much of today's modern web. Even if those new technologies are lesser than their conceptual predecessors and often miss the point. Additionally, XUL continues in many forms to this day.

This is the lasting legacy of Netscape. The Netscape that they gave us, trusting, it would NOT be handed to the next America Online that sprung up to be subsequently gutted and then eradicated without question or regard. No one can take it away from any of us.. and it cannot be killed. Not utterly. That's the whole point. However, some will sure try.

I do want to thank you, the visitor, for taking the time to read this page and visit the site. Specifically for keeping an open mind about XUL and other classical mozilla technologies, even if some proponents of them struggle to do the same in return.
