Thunderbird Stops the Development of Mozilla


Mozilla Foundation Chairman Mitchell Baker said in his blog that the company Mozilla, Thunderbird mail client issued in 2004, ceases to be engaged in its development. Mozilla will no longer add new features Thunderbird. According to Baker, this may well be able to do third-party developers. Mozilla also will assume the provision of a stable and safe operation of the program in the form in which it exists at the moment. To refuse the active development of the mail client Mozilla decided by the desire to save money and human resources. Now the company is much more important in mobile and network projects, including the operating system Firefox OS.


Mozilla Thunderbird is a mail client to open source. It is used by more than 20 million people worldwide. There are versions for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and other platforms. In 2007, Mozilla has already announced that refuses to develop Thunderbird, however this did not happen. The latest version of e-mail program with the number 13 came out in the first half of June 2012. Now continuing the development of Thunderbird 14 and out of beta.
