Gecko is a layout engine currently developed by Mozilla Corporation, known as the layout engine of the Firefox web browser,
Mozilla Application Suite, Nvu, Mozilla Thunderbird and many more. It is designed to support open Internet standards, and
is used by applications such as Mozilla Firefox, Camino, Flock, SeaMonkey, K-Meleon, Netscape 9, Lunascape to display web
pages and, in some cases, an application's user interface itself.
The Mozilla Application Suite (originally known as Mozilla, marketed as the Mozilla Suite, and code named Seamonkey) is a
cross-platform integrated Internet suite. 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.
SeaMonkey is a free and open source cross-platform Internet suite. It is the continuation of the former Mozilla Application
Suite, based on the same source code. Core Mozilla project source code is licensed under a disjunctive tri-license that gives
the choice of one of the three following sets of licensing terms: Mozilla Public License, version 1.1 or later, GNU General
Public License, version 2.0 or later, GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 or later.
jQuery is a lightweight cross-browser JavaScript library that emphasizes interaction between JavaScript and HTML. It was released

JavaScript library in use today. jQuery is free, open source software, dual-licensed under the MIT License and the GNU General
Public License, Version 2.
ChatZilla is a "clean, easy to use and highly extensible IRC client, built on the Mozilla platform". It is written entirely
in JavaScript, supported by XUL, CSS and HTML. It is designed to run on any platform on which Mozilla runs, such as Mac OS,
Linux, BSD, Microsoft Windows, Solaris, IRIX, BeOS, AIX, HP-UX, and OS/2.
XULRunner is a runtime environment developed by the Mozilla Foundation to provide a common back-end for XUL applications.
It replaced the Gecko Runtime Environment, a stalled project with a similar purpose. The first stable developer preview of
XULRunner was released in February 2006, based on the Mozilla 1.8 code base, and alpha versions based on Mozilla 1.9 were
released in 2007.
