  14. Re:Firefox lite. on Why Mozilla Needs To Go Into Survival Mode · · Score: 3, Informative

    IIRC, the project started to give people choice.
    Their goal was to save the web from a standards-hurting monopoly, not necessarily be the #1 in user base.

    Firefox can die in peace, the web was saved.

    Thanks, Mozilla!

    You made a great browser that I used from version 0.3 (then named Phoenix, IIRC) to 3.5. More than that, you acomplished your mission to make the web a better place.

    * search the scroll history (and copy text from there);
    * protect your session from X session lockup;
    * access your session from another machine.
