If you mean Mozilla the web browsing, email client, web designer thing
rather than the Mozilla the Organisation or Mozilla the Company then,
err its not, anymore. Its called SeaMonkey (IIRC) - Mozilla the browser
is no more after the 1.7 releases; there will not be a 1.8 release.

SeaMonkey is a community effort, contributed to by anyone who wants to
get involved, but it is not an official Mozilla product - though Mozilla
(the organisation) are still involved with and helping the SeaMonkey
project etc. They dropped Mozilla (the browser) to concentrate on their
next generation products Firefox and Thunderbird.
