About Mozilla
Netscape’s Mozilla is much more than a browser — it is a highly modularized component framework that allows the development of professional cross-platform applications.
Mozilla is an open source project described at http://www.mozilla.org.
Several companies use Mozilla source code to build a variety of products. For example:
Komodo and Mozilla
Komodo is a professional IDE for open source languages, developed using the Mozilla codebase as an application framework.
- Full editing and debugging support for Perl, Python, PHP, and XSLT
- Editing support for many other languages, such as JavaScript, HTML, Ruby, Tcl, and XML
- Runs under Windows and Linux
Komodo, unlike other large Mozilla applications, is not a web browser.
However, Komodo uses much of the same technology, such as the set of GUI facilities provided by Mozilla, the Cross-platform Component Object Model (XPCOM), and the Netscape Portable Runtime (NSPR) library.
Komodo is also exceptional in that it relies on Python as a key language for implementing many XPCOM components, thanks to the PyXPCOM package, which ActiveState developed and released to the Mozilla project under the MPL.
Komodo 3.5 was built from the Mozilla 1.8 sources as November 2005 with the following packages applied:
mozilla-packages-ko35.zip
Komodo 2.5 was built from the Mozilla 1.4 branch sources with the following patches applied:
mozilla-patches-ko25.zip.
Komodo 2.3 was built from the Mozilla 0.9.5 branch sources as of
October 26, 2001 with the following patches applied:
mozilla-patches-ko23.tar.gz.
Komodo 2.0 was built from the Mozilla 0.9.5 branch sources as of
October 26, 2001 with the following patches applied:

Patches for earlier versions of Komodo are available from ActiveState's
download server.
