SeaMonkey is an Internet suite that is the continuation of the former Mozilla Application Suite. SeaMonkey is community-driven, in contrast to the Mozilla Suite, whose stable 1.7 branch remains governed by the Mozilla Foundation. SeaMonkey is based on code from "Mozilla Suite". The SeaMonkey Project and its releases are maintained by the SeaMonkey Council.
SeaMonkey 1.0 was released on 30th January 2006.

Mozilla Firefox (commonly referred as Firefox) - It is designed to be a light weight browser. By definition, it is just the browser (Navigator). It is re-written to take the advantage of better portability into operating system and faster rendering speed. This is less mature than Mozilla Application Suite. Version 1.0 is released in November. Firefox usually receives updates as frequent as Mozilla does.

Netscape - Netscape is basically same as Mozilla (Application Suite), but targeting end-users with better documentation and Netscape branding. A few additional multimedia components/plug-ins were added to the package. All those additional components are un-installable. A stand-alone Navigator (browser and basic multimedia pluginis only) is also available.

Mozilla used to target developers and testers, however, recently they've making it end user friendly. Mozilla usually receives updates more frequent than Netscape.
