The market responded to what was essentially a repackaged version of Mozilla Application Suite (swollen with integrated tools to access proprietary services owned by AOL) by ignoring it. Competition from mature and competent non-Microsoft alternatives such as the Opera browser and the regular Mozilla distribution was a major factor. A point rele ...

Mozilla was the mascot of the now disbanded Netscape Communications Corporation. It had a close relationship with the Mozilla codename. Initially, the mascot took various forms, including that of a helmeted astronaut or "spaceman", but the eventual choice of a Godzilla-like lizard was no doubt thought to go well with the Godzilla-like name. It takes the form of a cute green and purple cartoon lizard. It was designed by Dave Titus in 1994. Mozilla featured prominently on Netscape's website in the company's early years. However, the nee ...

In computing, a button (sometimes known as a command button or push button) is a widget which provides the user a simple way to trigger an event, such as clearing the display on a calculator program. Buttons are also used to provide the user ways to respond to dialog boxes. A typical button is a rectangle, wider than it is tall, with a descriptive caption in its center. The most common method of 'pushing' a button is clicking it, but other input such as keystrokes can be used. When 'pushed', in addition to performing a predetermined task, buttons often undergo a graphical ch ...

Public key cryptography is a form of cryptography which generally allows users to communicate securely without having prior access to a shared secret key. This is done by using a pair of cryptographic keys, designated as public key and private key, which are related mathematically. The term asymmetric key cryptography is a synonym for public key cryptography. In public key cryptography, the private key is generally kept secret, while the public key may be widely distributed. In a sense, one key "locks" a lock; while the other is required to unlock it. It should not be poss ...
