Happy 5th Birthday To Firefox

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the they-get-bloated-so-fast dept.

halfEvilTech writes "Five years ago today, Mozilla released Firefox 1.0. Ars celebrates the occasion by taking a trip back in time to revisit our classic coverage of the original release." For fun, we dug up the oldest Slashdot Firefox story, which was a Firebird story proclaiming yet another name change from Feb '04. At least this name change stuck.

    bad feature bloat

  2. Anyone using Lynx? by rmcd · · Score: 5, Funny

    Just curious to know if I'm alone. As the web has gotten more bloated (not just firefox), I find I use lynx more for quick, routine checking of websites. And you can script it.

    I like firefox a lot, but sometimes Lynx is better.
