download mozilla source

If you'd like to help by testing our software and submitting bug reports, then download a binary. If you're a developer then read on to find out how to get the source.

  • Please try one of our many mirror sites before downloading the following from our FTP server. The bandwidth you save will be your own.

  • Understand that this is for developers only. If you have never compiled and debugged a very large C/C++ program before, all this will do for you is use up a lot of disk space.

  • This code is covered by the Netscape Public License. Please read the license before downloading it.

  • If you're just beginning to work with mozilla then its recommended to start with a tarball from the most recent milestone build. Milestone builds occur on branches of the main cvs tree and have undergone QA and bug fixing to make them relatively stable. Later on, if you want to move off the branch and synchonize with the tip, do the following from the parent directory of your tree to remove the CVS branch tags from your tree: cvs co -A SeaMonkeyAll

  • For the most up-to-date tarball, grab the daily snapshot. Depending on the current state of the tree, this may not build, or it may be extremely buggy. However, it will update the most quickly with CVS.

  • To unpack a the .tar.gz file on windows you will need a win32 version of tar and gzip. These can be downloaded from Cygnus.

While you're waiting for the download (actually, ``before you even think about downloading anything,'' but who are we kidding) you should familiarize yourself with the developer documentation we have compiled to date.

The source is also available through several other methods, including CVS; see the Source Code page for details.

And finally, a huge thank you to all the people and organizations who made the initial release possible!
