It's simple enough. Firefox is the browser, Thunderbird is the mail client, Sunbird is the calendar. That's the official products supported by the Mozilla team. As someone else said, nVu is the equivalent of the old HTML editor, but I don't think it's an official Mozilla.org project. As for Seamonkey, that's a continuation of the old Mozilla suite, by people who disagreed with the decision to ditch the suite in favour of the separate Firefox/Thunderbird/etc components. It is *not* the Firefox browser, nor the Thunderbird mail reader, nor nVu editor. It's simply the old product kept up to date. They're all ultimately derived from the old Mozilla suite, which is why you see bits of legacy stuff in the codebase, e.g the composer directory on Firefox... Simon.
