But I have some concern that I couldn't find a Web Page editor in Firefox: as a browser, it seems to have less in it than Mozilla does.
Browsers are not really expected to compose html - some do but not very well. if you want to write html you would probably be better off with a dedicated app like Bluefish or Quanta.
It depends why you are wanting to write HTML.
The 'composer' in mozilla is a descendent of the original Netscape one but has improved considerably on the way. It can be very useful (and easy) for composing single pages of HTML. We use it at work in particular for allowing users (who may well not be familiar with HTML) to be given a template HTML file which they can then edit and save. It's ideal for development documentation etc.
Re: Firefox v. Mozilla I mostly use Firefox now, it feels 'cleaner' and a bit quicker than Mozilla, the differences aren't all that great yet though.
The theory is that Mozilla development will wind down and most of the effort will go into Firefox and Thunderbird. However I seem to remember Mozilla was originally going to stop at version 1.5 and we're at 1.7 now!
