Not quite.
The project is being continued under the label "SeaMonkey".
UNIXadmin: I share your feelings.

See this:

"In effect, this means that the suite will still continue to be
developed, but now by the SeaMonkey Council instead of the Mozilla
Foundation. SeaMonkey 1.0 was released on January 30
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/January_30>, 2006
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006>."

Blastwave has a Solaris package of it:

There will also be a MRTXseamonkey package later this year (Q2/Q3'07).
