Mozilla Firefox (wikipedia) is a free,
open source,
cross-platform,
graphical
web browser
developed by the Mozilla
Corporation and hundreds of volunteers.[1]
The browser began as a fork
of the Navigator component of the Mozilla
Application Suite; Firefox has since become the foundation's main
development focus (along with its Thunderbird
mail and news
client), and has replaced the Mozilla Suite as their official
main software release.
Before its 1.0 release, Firefox had
already gained acclaim from numerous media outlets, including
Forbes[2]
and the Wall
Street Journal.[3]
With over 25 million downloads in the 99 days after the initial 1.0
release, Firefox became one of the most downloaded free and open
source applications,
especially among home
users.[4]
On October 19,
2005, Firefox had its
100 millionth download, just 344 days after the release of version
1.0.[5]
Firefox 1.5 was released on November
29, 2005, with
more than 2 million downloads within the first 36 hours.
