What's the difference between Mozilla and Firefox? I'm seriously thinking about making to the switch after reading this thread for sure. I'm just not sure which ine and all that.

Mozilla is a suite of components. It contains a browser, an e-mail client, an IRC client, and an HTML editor. Firefox is a standalone browser and Thunderbird is a standalone e-mail client. The Mozilla Browser and Firefox are very similar but not quite the same, and the same goes for Thunderbird and the Mozilla suite's e-mail client. Generally speaking, it's a matter of preference. In my experience, Firefox and Thunderbird are slightly more lightweight than the Mozilla Suite.
An additional note about the adblock extension: A great place to get filters for adblock is <a href="http://www.geocities.com/pierceive/adblock/">this site</a>. Just scroll down, download the .txt file at the bottom (the one with the most recent date/lowest letter) and import it into adblock while in the adblock preferences. Works like a charm.
