5 years ago on this date, Mozilla Firefox 1.0 was released to the public. The browser, with the support of search engine giant Google, has emerged from an experimental branch of the Mozilla project to one of the world’s most popular web browser, killing Microsoft’s Internet Explorer, which is currently still the top browser, although it’s losing its dominance to new comers like Google Chrome. With over 1 billion downloads and 330 million monthly users, I believe Firefox will ‘rule’ the browser market by the time it celebrates its 10th anniversary.
Anyway, Happy Belated Birthday to Firefox!
