Firefox, the open source project that started the web browser 'Renaissance,' is celebrating its sixth birthday today. As the team is working on getting the latest version, Firefox 4, ready for launch, Mozilla is asking fans to let it know what they like about Firefox and why.
"The Mozilla community is excited to celebrate the 6th birthday of Firefox, the Web browser of choice for nearly 400 million people worldwide," Mozilla
said.
"Mozilla was established more than 10 years ago as a non-profit organization with a mission to promote openness, innovation and opportunity on the Web. Six years ago, Mozilla released Firefox 1.0 offering people a better Web experience," it added.
Firefox is facing some serious competition today and all major browsers are rather well balanced, with no product standing out or falling too far behind.
Back in 2004 things were quite different. Internet Explorer dominated the landscape and, thought there were alternatives, its reign seemed unchallengeable.
