Mozilla usage and adoption is on the rise (http://www.mozillazine.org/talkback.html?article=5038). This can be attributed to a number of factors. However, the primary factor is that it is cutting-edge, quality software. With this in mind, take in the variation of Mozilla development projects below, check some of them out, install and support them.
