A nostalgic walkthrough of Mozilla 1.2b from 2002, the oldest version in the author's archive. Covers the full Mozilla Application Suite including the Navigator browser, mail/news client, Composer HTML editor, and IRC client (Chatzilla). Highlights include the themed UI affecting all components, cookie manager with plain-text storage, popup permission management, Usenet support, and FTP publishing from Composer. The author reflects on how the suite was simpler and more concise than modern equivalents, while noting that basic browsing needs haven't changed much.
