Mozilla 1.2.1 is based on open source and leverages Mozilla's technologies such as GECKO, a fully standards-compliant layout engine. Web pages look better with Mozilla 1.2.1 because GECKO allows users to view all the latest, eye-pleasing special effects, graphics and styles that Web developers include in their sites.

Starting up Mozilla 1.2.1 begins with the profile migration screens to enable users to copy their preferences and bookmarks. A patch check also runs, recommending which patches to install. Mozilla 1.2.1 for the Solaris OS is covered by Sun Services' support offerings for the Solaris OS.
