mozila - Mozila Firefox

Mozila was the mascot of the now-disbanded Netscape Communications Corporation, formerly called Mosaic Communications Corporation. Initially, the mascot took various forms, including that of a helmeted astronaut or "spaceman", but the eventual choice was a Godzilla-like lizard thought to go well with the Godzilla-like name. It was designed by Dave Titus in 1994.

Codename of Netscape Navigator

web, software, mozila, history ...

Historically, Mozila had been used internally as a codename for the Netscape Navigator web browser from its beginning. Jamie Zawinski came up with the name during a meeting while working at the company. It was a contraction of Mosaic killer (that is, the slang "killa" leading to Moz+illa), referring to the hope that the project would unseat Mosaic as the web's most popular browser, and making reference to the name of the classic fictional monster Godzilla.

History of the mozila firefox

Dave Hyatt and Blake Ross began working on the Firefox project as an experimental branch of the Mozilla project. They believed the commercial requirements of Netscape's sponsorship and developer-driven feature creep compromised the utility of the Mozilla browser. To combat what they saw as the Mozilla Suite's software bloat, they created a stand-alone browser, with which they intended to replace the Mozilla Suite. On April 3, 2003, the Mozilla Organization announced that they planned to change their focus from the Mozilla Suite to Firefox and Thunderbird.

Great extension for firefox:Sessionsaver!

It's a very useful extension for firefox users.

By default this feature is off, but can be turned on from the Options/Preferences menu. In the Main panel, under Startup set "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time". This will have Firefox restore your tabs and form data to their state when Firefox closed (the related preference is browser.startup.page).

This extension allows you to execute common commands using mouse gestures, rocker navigation, scroll wheel navigation and page scrolling.
It's pity that this addon could't work on firefox 3.0.
