The Mozilla Application Suite (originally known as Mozilla, marketed as the Mozilla Suite, and code named SeaMonkey) is a free, cross-platform internet suite, whose components include a web browser, an email and news client, an HTML editor, and an IRC client. Its development was initiated by Netscape Communications Corporation, before their acquisition by AOL. It is based on the source code of Netscape Communicator. The development was spearheaded by the Mozilla Organization from 1998 to 2003, and by the Mozilla Foundation since 2003.

• Several extensions, including DOM Inspector and Venkman.

Versions 6 and 7 of the Netscape suite were based on the Mozilla Suite. The last official version will be 1.7.x, as Mozilla Foundation is now focusing on the development of Firefox and Thunderbird. The suite will be unofficially superseded by SeaMonkey, a community-driven internet suite that is based on the same source code.
