What is the difference between Firefox and Mozilla?

Chosen solution

In what way?

Firefox is the short name for Mozilla Firefox and is a web browser.

Mozilla is the company that makes the Firefox web browser.

The word Mozilla was also used to refer to the Mozilla suite until Mozilla discontinued development (at version 1.7.13 back in 2005) and the SeaMonkey community took over the suite since.
