“Firefox 1.0.” was penned precisely on 11 November, 2004 05:00 PM, which happened to be a Thursday. but you know what? dullneon.com's random notes has now moved to a new location.
§
Firefox 1.0.
Almost 26 months ago, the first version of a rudimentary browser, codenamed Pescadero, was derived from the then Mozilla software code base. The developers had wanted to build a great browser, primarily for the Microsoft Windows platform. After 2 major name changes, the speedy little Mozilla Firefox browser went gold two days ago and is available in 17 languages and on 5 major operating system platforms. And in the old Netscape browser tradition, The Book of Mozilla still lives and spouts venom. Some things change, but evidently some things just don’t.
(Incidentally, typing about:mozilla in Internet Explorer gives you a blue screen, in an apparent reference to the Netscape browser suite’s instability. Did the IE engineers think the BSOD was a particularly clever ‘feature’ of Windows to base a riposte on?)
