Early Firefox history thread by @asadotzler on Thread Reader App (from before it was called Phoenix, heck from before Phoenix was created!)

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/05/14

A few years back I bumped in this cool [Wayback/Archive] Thread by @asadotzler on Thread Reader App on early Firefox history (from before it was called Phoenix or Firebird, heck from before Phoenix was created!).

It is important to keep telling these bits of history as they are fundamental to understand the Web Browser landscape as it is now.

Great material that complements Wikipedia articles like these:

The start of the thread on Twitter is here:

[Wayback/Archive] Asa Dotzler on Twitter: “18 years ago today, we shipped Firefox 1.0 to the world. (Well, some of the world, anyway. I think we had something like 20 languages available then — all thanks to volunteers!) I was deeply involved in the early Firefox efforts and here’s a bit of history from the early days.”

One message did not make it in the thread:

[Wayback/Archive] Asa Dotzler on Twitter: “Another correction, for an omission. Composer, the HTML authoring component of the Communicator suite, also found life as a standalone app, first as Nvu and later BlueGriffon. I wasn’t involved much in this and that’s why it wasn’t included. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Composer for more.”

Be sure to follow [Wayback/Archive] Asa Dotzler (@asadotzler) / Twitter. By now the above thread likely became a blog post on [Wayback/Archive] Asa Dotzler.
