I need to install Firefox 22 or later as required by an upgrade in another program (iTunes). What is the difference if any between Firefox and Mozilla Firefox?

Mozilla Firefox is the full name (since it was version 0.8) as Firefox is the short name.

^What I dislike about that is it claims Firefox did not really start as Release until version 1.0 as they say every version before were Early versions. There was no real difference between 0.9.3 and 1.0 as 1.0 was only a big deal due to number and the fireworks that was put behind it.
