MozillaZine Celebrates 5th Anniversary

Posted by timothy on from the how-may-picoseconds-is-that dept.

An anonymous reader writes "MozillaZine, the Mozilla news and advocacy site, is five years old today. They've got a fifth anniversary section, containing a message from their founder, a chronology (which makes a pretty good Mozilla timeline generally), some trivia (who's bright idea was Music to Code By?!) and an acknowledgements page. I think it's amazing that a free site like this has provided such a great service to the open-source community for half a decade. Cheers!"

  1. Firebird by kgbspy · · Score: 4, Informative

    It took them five years to do it, but they've come up with the best web browser known to man: with daylight second, and Opera third.

    Here's hoping that the next five years sees the same committed focus to Firebird as has been poured into Mozilla.

  3. loving firebird by planckscale · · Score: 5, Informative
    This browser *in use now* is my newest best friend (I know, sad huh). Simple, elegant, tabs, history, caches, privacy, and it's download manager are all that I need. Also, it just performs faster, blocks popups, it's free and just seems to have more for my money. I'd like to see better plug-in support; java, shockwave, Wild tangent and some other plugins aren't exactly mindless installs in some cases. Also I would like to see Firebird run in memory in the background like Mozilla does, and a download "acceleration" with mulitple FTP sites would be a bonus. Otherwise, it's my favorite DEFAULT browser :-)

    That wasn't a spelling mistake, by the way.. I was in fact referring to Mozialla, the splinter browser developed from Mozilla. Honest.

    Seriously, kudos to Mozilla for having a spam filter that is better than any of the non confirmation spam-tools I've seen.
