Thanks. I am thinking about using Mozilla for a while, rather than
Firefox (Firefox seems to be eating more than 100 MB RAM + 100 MB swap
here).

Mozilla isn't any better. :) 83 MB (111 MB peak) and 75 MB swap.

I may have this wrong but...

I use Mozilla (seamonkey) for both the web browser and the email client.
This runs one instance of the gecko rendering engine. If I were to
run Firefox *and* t-bird for the same functionality, wouldn't I be
running two instance of gecko (and, therefore, twice the resources?)

Very likely, yes.

Why isn't Mozilla website updated about this release?

Because there are still problems, i.e. faulty Linux default /GTK1)
builds. Once that has been resovled, it surely will go public.

And just as a side note, the problems were solved and it has gone public
now.

I'm currently running 1.7.8
I get confused when following these newsgroups. I don't know which
problems/discussions might apply to my mozilla version. How do I know
which version(s) of Foxfire and T'bird are contained in a given version
of Mozilla? ... or doesn't it matter?

Firefox and Thunderbird are separate products from Mozilla. While much
of the code is shared between them and Mozilla, there is not a unique
link between versions of Firefox/Thunderbird and Mozilla.

None. Firefox and Thunderbird are separate products from the Mozilla suite.

Is Firefox a worse hog than Moz? Wow, how depressing.
