Yes, but they are relatives. Both (and more) are from http://www.mozilla.org
Mozilla is a suite of browser, mail/news client, IRC client and HTML editor.
Firefox is a (small=fast) browser only, thunderbird a mail/news client only.
Mozilla (suite) is what was formerly existing as netscape navigator gold.

Mozilla is both. The organization and the browser suite (the internal name
of netscape if you like). There is even the newer http://www.mozilla.com now.

Current is Mozilla V1.7.12, Firefox V1.5, Thunderbird V1.0.7 (and V1.5 in RC2)

>(And who are SWB?)

SWB (or CSWB) is the (Compaq) Secure Web Browser. This means, the ported
and supported by VMS engineering version of the mozilla suite (not firefox).
Just as NETSCAPE V2 & V3 was many years ago. The current version is V1.7-11

You sound unwilling not unable...
