 Mozilla Foundation Created - MozillaZine
We're very pleased to announce the creation of the Mozilla Foundation, a non-profit organization that will serve as the new home for mozilla.org.

Now that the Mozilla Foundation has been launched, we believe the time is ripe to move aggressively toward new distribution channels, new end-user markets, and better incorporation of developer-driven innovations from the whole Mozilla community.

 Frank Hecker, Mozilla : Mozilla Foundation grants
(Recall that the Mozilla Foundation is the nonprofit tax-exempt parent of the Mozilla Corporation or, to put it the other way around, the Mozilla Corporation is the taxable subsidiary of the Foundation.
Along the way the Mozilla Foundation also did a number of other grants as well, for example to the Mozdev Community Organization, for the Mozilla Digital Memory Bank project, and (a little further afield) to the OpenBSD and OpenSSH projects.
The use of the Mozilla brand could be considered to be watered down by being split between the two entities of very different character.

 Mozilla FAQ - Installing Mozilla
Since Netscape 6.2.3 (Mozilla 0.9.4.1) or Netscape 7 (Mozilla 1.0.1) will most likely be based on a different Mozilla release than the Mozilla version you are using, you are advised to create a specific profile for each application.
If you're really industrius (and why else would you be using a Mozilla build?) you can investigate which file in the profile directory is causing the problem and at the same time rescue all of the other user data.
The syntax of some of the preferences has changed when newer versions of Mozilla were released, so some of your modified preferences may not be compatible with the newer Mozilla release you installed.

 Calendar:Lightning - MozillaWiki
The Mozilla Foundation has not yet announced any plans to add Lightning to its set of supported products under any name; indeed, such an announcement would be premature, as the exact composition of Lightning is still very much under discussion.
The Mozilla Calendar extension for Thunderbird is a separate project and codebase, though all Mozilla Calendar projects (the extensions, Sunbird, Lightning) will share the core calendar components and protocols.
While the Mozilla Calendar extension for Thunderbird acts essentially as an alternate launcher for the Sunbird application window, Lightning is designed to integrate into the main Thunderbird UI and user interaction model as tightly as possible.

 Frank Hecker, Mozilla : The Mozilla Foundation reorganization
Establishing the Mozilla Corporation as a taxable subsidiary of the Mozilla Foundation (as opposed to just another tax-exempt organization) provides more leeway to establish business relationships in support of the project, while still keeping the Mozilla Foundation itself as a traditional tax-exempt organization.
But this is not a totally new problem for the Mozilla project, which after all was not originally created by a band of volunteers "scratching their own itch", but rather by a for-profit corporation pursuing its own business goals.
Zak, who's just joined the Mozilla Foundation, is a newcomer to the Mozilla project but is a veteran of projects like MySQL and PHP and has a wealth of experience in open source community development as well as in implementing programs to make community participation easier.
