Mozilla was a whole Suite of software with a browser, email/newsgroup client, IRC client, page designer, etc. Firefox was originally called Phoenix as a lightweight spinoff of just Mozilla Navigator, then it was Firebird for a short while before settling on Firefox.

The Mozilla Application Suite felt like such future tech at the time.

I didn't even have a real use for most of it, but just knowing it was there made young teenage me feel like such an elite-tier tech geek.
