    Let's hope for the day they can add "Firefox usage overtakes IE usage" to that page. Although it may not be perfect, Firefox (pheonix, firebird etc) has been revolutionary - and I believe it has generally increase people's awareness about the web.

    Well done to all the developers involved in the developement. Keep up the good work.

  3. why? by kin_korn_karn · · Score: 2, Insightful

    what's the point of things like this? Is this really news?

    I'm not a paying subscriber and I'm not one to bitch about the stories but "Someone posted the FireFox changelog" is not news.

    I'd be more interested in looking at a brief history of Internet Explorer, for the same reasons that they teach kids history in school. (to prevent it from repeating).

    I know you are trying to be funny, but only a fool feels that his own history is not worth examining. (Hint: Mozilla has made mistakes in its own past that we should try and avoid repeating in the future.)

    Its pretty ignorant for someone to write a piece about the "history of mozilla firefox" without discussing Netscape, Mosaic, etc...
