It still makes sense to describe Mozilla as a web browser, even if it 
isn't 100% accurate. "Web browser" is succinct and easy to understand, 
while "open-source internet application framework" is vague and 
effectively meaningless.

The web browser component of Mozilla is the most significant piece to an 
end user.
