Firfox good...Marketing BAD.
I will say that Firefox is defintiely the best IE alternative. Notice I didnt say the best. Firfox isnt really the best, best depends on opinion, but In regards to an IE alternative that even IE folks might feel comfortable with, Firefox is definitly the best.

The only thing I think the Mozilla group is doing wrong, is that they are causing user confusion by hyping Mozilla, Firfox and camino. If someone new goes to the website to check it out, 95% of the users I deal with always say. which one do I use? What is the difference between Mozilla and Firefox. Mac users wonder well is Camino the one I should use or Firefox, or should I use Mozilla?

They need to migrate to Firefox, get off Mozilla and hone Firefox as "THE" browser and move on from there. Dont let the Unixesque tendency to fragment products lead to more confusion. That wont help perpetuate your product to non-techy users.
