Mozilla to become Phoenix, Thunderbird

[Rahwgwar]

Now posted on their official site, this news is confirmed (although I'm sure many of you already knew)........So it looks like they'll be scrapping the bulky XPFE toolkit associated with Mozilla.

They have announced this through their new "roadmap."

It can be found in its entirety here

Yeah, I read this a few days ago. I think it's good news for me, since I only use Mozilla for the browser and I think Phoenix is nice but still too early in developmental stages to use on a day-to-day basis. Browsers should definetly be much lighter, Mozilla uses over 30 MB of RAM and loads almost as slowly as Photoshop. A lighter version of Mozilla without Composer and the ability to set separate email clients to default would be great.

I've tried that browser. It's a really good one. It doesn't do everything Mozilla or IE can do (yet), but it sure is getting there.

they finally realised!!! phoenix isn't developed enough yet and mozilla is too slow, so up until now been stuck with ie-based browsers. will we see a (small) revolution?!
