The History of Firefox and Mozilla
2007
Mosaic is Firefox’sdistant ancestor!
Netscape developed SSL (securecommunication using encryption)and JavaScript during this period.
Most of the technologynow gaining attentionwas developed duringthis period.
We actively competedwith IE at this time.
Many folks helped usbut it didn’t work well...
We were reborn with a new technology called “Gecko”.
Because we were not sufficientlyprepared, IE was still way ahead of us.
Now it was Firefox’s chance!Ad was in NewYork Times andit was like a festival.
Firefox is evolving and moving forward.Please look forward to our next release.
IE’s ancestor isalso Mosaic.
People said that the Internet is Netscape.It has become very popular.
By now, more peopleare using IE.
Netscape disappeared fromthe market without regainingits strength.
Our activities have beensupported by volunteers.
Everyone worked hard whileIE was resting.
The story of browsers dating back to the dawn of the Web.
