make www.getfirefox.com page mention Thunderbird
4mi...@gmail.com
I hear that TB is not as popular as Firefox.
Simple things can make big changes. On the getfirefox.com home page,
there is no mention of Thunderbird. It can only be found by the
"products" menu.
Suggestion -- why doesn't Mozilla edit the FF homepage to mention
Thunderbird. That alone will raise awareness for people who don't know
about Thunderbird.

I've been a SeaMonkey user even before it was called SeaMonkey, and I
like it.

On the other hand you could always file a bug like this one:
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=373065>
Hopefully someone will hit Asa with a clue-by-four.

Because the Mozilla Foundation, for better or for worse, has decided
that our high-level goals are best served by promoting only one browser
product, and that product is Firefox.
Given that other participants want to write other browser projects
(Seamonkey, Camino), this inevitably produces a certain amount of
tension. The position we are at currently is (something like) they are
welcome to write them, and the Mozilla project resources are available
for hosting and project support, but not for promotion.

Gerv, I think you missed the point of Philip's post, possibly because you had to
read the text he was quoting as well to get it. His point, as far as I can
tell, was that www.getfirefox.com is a pretty Firefox-specific page, and
mentioning other software (whether Seamonkey or Thunderbird) on it doesn't seem
to make sense.

Gerv, I could have sworn that you were a Brit, because I thought only
Americans didn't understand irony.

How about promoting one browser product and one integrated suite
product? <insert appropriate humour emoticon here in case it's not obvious>

Ah, OK. Never mind, then :-)
