Huh, always assumed that Firefox was much older than 2004. I remember using it in 2005/2006 for the first time.

It was called Firebird in late 2003, and earlier that year it was called Mozilla.

I've been here the entire time and I have never been thrilled.

I'm pretty sure it was Phoenix before it was Firebird. They had to change away from both names due to naming conflicts from other projects.

cupcakezealot , 16 days ago

basically since the 90s if you consider netscape, considering firefox was spun of from them

And between the two we had Mozilla Suite (which is what SeaMonkey basically is today)

They should use scissors instead of a knife, as a symbol for supporting censorship.

That really hurts.

@Dirk

As a supporter for >15 years, it hurts me that @mozilla / @firefox bow to the Russian autocracy.

levzzz , 16 days ago

It's the choice of either blocking some extension(s) or getting their whole domains blocked in russia, so mozilla chose the first

mina , 16 days ago

@levzzz

I know, but these extensions are essential for circumventing censorship.

This is exactly, what I call "bowing to an autocracy".

ripcord , 16 days ago

K, that's why they undid the the temporary change.

We all knew the enshitification was coming when they put someone from Airbnb in charge. It begins by sucking up to Russia.

ripcord , 16 days ago

They suspended it temporarily while they figured out what to do, then reinstated already.

fossphi , 16 days ago

Is that really necessary here?

@tommi @firefox @mozilla Where can I get that shirt? I need it.

tommi OP , 16 days ago

@anonicus @firefox @mozilla Unfortunately they are just giving it here, I could not get it!

anonicus , 16 days ago

@tommi @firefox @mozilla Smh, They really need to bring back the Merch store. I used to see it as a kid but as soon as I turned adult and able to buy something, There's no more merch store.

x4740N , 16 days ago

Likely cost more than the funding it would have or was bringing in to support Firefox development

samus12345 , 16 days ago

Wheeeee!

Melatonin , 16 days ago

That seems kinda sad and pathetic for a celebration.

xploit , 16 days ago

What would you say if they had a big party with a lot of PR/marketing behind it;
"they're wasting all this money to have fun instead of making the product better"?

Dirk , 16 days ago

Most of the money does not go into the browser anyways.

ripcord , 16 days ago

Yes, because they just want to shit on stuff.
