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

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)

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

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.

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