Classilla is a Gecko-based Internet suite for PowerPC-based classic Macintosh operating systems, essentially an updated descendant of the defunct Mozilla Application Suite by way of the Mac OS port maintained in the aborted WaMCom project.^[2] The name is a portmanteau of Classic (the classic Mac OS, as defined by the Classic Environment), and Mozilla.^[2]

Like the Suite it is descended from, Classilla offers E-mail (POP/SMTP), Usenet (NNTP), Gopher, FTP and World Wide Web (HTTP) access, using a modified version of the Gecko layout engine called Clecko. Classilla also includes its own versions of the DOM Inspector, Mozilla Composer and Venkman components; the former IRC ChatZilla component was removed in version 9.1. Classilla was the last updated major browser for classic Mac OS systems, and the only Mozilla-based browser for that environment most recently in maintenance as well, as iCab 3's final update was 3.0.5 in January 2008,^[3] Opera's Mac OS 9 support ended with version 6.03 on 20 August 2003,^[4]^[5] Internet Explorer for Mac on the classic Mac OS ceased development with 5.1.7 in July 2003^[6] and Mozilla itself ceased support in 2002 (see History).

The final version of Classilla was released in March 2021 and the suite is no longer officially supported.^[1] The developers considered the project to be alpha quality software.^[7] Classilla shared administration with TenFourFox, a fork of Mozilla Firefox for PowerPC-based Macs running Mac OS X Tiger and Mac OS X Leopard. The primary maintainer was Cameron Kaiser.
