I think the thing I liked most about Firefox vs Mozilla is that
Firefox allows you to your choice of email client, while when I used
Mozilla, it required you to use it's builtin email client.

If, for some reason you wanted to use a different email client, you
had to copy the address after clicking on a mailto: yourself.
