TIL that “Mozilla” is an acronym for “Mosaic Killa”. There once was an ancient browser called Mosaic.

There is no Z there, though.

This isn't how old I expected to feel today.

@sariel Ooh iron man!

@aviophile no but its a word play, mozilla killer, godzilla ;)

It was the internal name for netscape and when they gave up and open sourced the code the project was named mozilla.

Started using it when it was versioned milestone 16 :) switched to phoenix when they released it before it was renamed firefox after the Phoenix technology company that made bioses among other things complained.

Been using it ever since :)

Just randomly gotta recommend the show "Halt and catch fire", as they have some kinda semi-reality related browser wars going on in the later seasons (after starting out with a semi-reality related hardware war in the earlier seasons)
