MozillaZine is an unofficial website about the Mozilla project and provides information and support about products like the Firefox browser or the Thunderbird email client.
The site hosts an active Mozilla webforum, a community-driven knowledge base of information about Mozilla products, and a number of weblogs by Mozilla developers.
MozillaZine is sometimes mistaken as an official mouthpiece for Mozilla but it is actually completely independent of the Mozilla Foundation.

History
The site was founded by Chris Nelson on September 1, 1998 just a few months after mozilla.org, which was created on February 23, 1998, and quickly grew in popularity. Improvements were added to the site and it soon moved to the
mozillazine.org
domain. Originally, the site's main audience was Mozilla developers, both Netscape employees and outsiders, but it soon attracted interested observers and end users. On November 14, 1998, MozillaZine merged with MozBin, which brought its webmaster, Jason Kersey, onboard. Chris Nelson phased out his involvement with the site from the beginning of 2001 onwards. In May 2002, Alex Bishop became the site's third member of staff.Policy
MozillaZine allows its content to be translated into different languages by anyone who has the time to spare. Volunteers have made French, Japanese, Chinese, German, Korean, Spanish, Hungarian and Turkish translations available. MozillaZine also syndicates its content via Atom and RSS feeds. Many sites, including Slashdot and Google News, carry MozillaZine's headlines.
There is also a #mozillazine IRC channel on irc.mozilla.org.
