And which is better? Mozilla or Mozilla Firefox?
Much the same thing. Firefox is the Mozilla web browser, stripped of the email client, the html editor, etc. It's a little different, but not much. Expect to see any advantages Firefox accrues eventually migrate into the full Mozilla suite. If you just want the browser, Firefox is a smaller, faster programme.
BTW, I've got a problem for Martin, et al.
I've got a computer to myself in the projects lab here in college, so I downloaded Firefox onto it. I can't get the internet connection configured though. The IE on it has "Use an automatic configuration script" enabled, with a partucular proxy server's address in the field below it.
Firefox has two possibilities which might do the same thing. I'm not in the lab right now, so I'm going on memory here, but one's "Automatically detect settings" and the other lets me type in a number of proxy's addresses. The first didn't work, so I tried tying the proxy address from IE into to "html" form. This didn't work either, but there's a "Port" field too. I left that at zero. Is that right? If not, how do I find the port number for this proxy server?
