For "old" generation like you & me, we certainly would feel more comfortable to use a Mozilla-type suite, but for development purposes, a browser and an e-mail client share very little in common and they should go separate ways. I would love to see both firefox & moz included, but doing so would be not only a waste of precious resources but, more importantly, causing unexpected confusion.
