Why Birth of Firefox During the same year that Mozilla 1.0 and Netscape 7 were released, development began on what would become the Firefox web browser. This splinter project was started by a small group of disgruntled Mozilla developers who were extremely disappointed in the Netscape browser and not satisfied with Mozilla's mediocre successes. We believed in the technology that Mozilla had built in the last 4 years, but we knew that commercial organizations like Netscape and Microsoft did not care about making a better browser because it was not in their financial interest to do so. • In 1999, the IE team was more than 1,000 people and it crushed Netscape removing any commercial incentive in web browsers and in 2001, after the release of IE 6, the IE team was disbanded. • With no money to be made from the browser itself, the Netscape.com portal, which was still generating revenue, took over the development of the Netscape browser. 5
