Is Firefox significantly better than plain ol' Mozilla?

It is much smaller, doesn't include the email stuff, and has some other features that I really like. The ability to increase or decrease the font size by hold the cntrl key and running the scroll on a wheel mouse is the #1 thing. And ability to choose , by the right mouse button whether to open a new page as a window or as a tab on an existing window. Mozilla (I don't think ) doesn't have the first facility and the second one is somewhat different.

So I am running 9.3 at the moment under Fedora Core 2.

Off a SCSI 10 K disk and it is very responsive, probably the RAM size of Firefox has much to do with that.
