Secrets Hidden In FireFox


Recommended Posts

I found a kind of Easter Egg in FireFox

Open firefox and type in

ABOUT:MOZILLA

in the address bar

And so at last the beast fell and the unbelievers rejoiced. But all was not lost, for from the ash rose a great bird. The bird gazed down upon the unbelievers and cast fire and thunder upon them. For the beast had been reborn with its strength renewed, and the followers of Mammon cowered in horror.

from The Book of Mozilla, 7:15

Hi!

Welcome to the internet!

We've been here since 1990 awaiting your arrival. Now that you're here, I'll give you some friendly advice to make your stay more pleasant.

Always use the "Search" feature before posting on message boards. This will prevent what we like to call a flamefest. I won't explain it as one will develop here shortly.

Also remember to use the "Internet Search" feature - found here http://google.com

You can type keywords into the "Search" box and "Google" will scan the vast information superhighway for just that little nugget of information you desire.

Enjoy your stay here on the internet and beware of the trolls.

that has been in there since phoenix days. its refering to IE. and the 7:15 is the date i think phoenix was created from the mozilla code.

EDIT: to make more sense

And so at last the beast fell(IE) and the unbelievers rejoiced(IE fanboys). But all was not lost, for from the ash rose a great bird(Phoenix/Firebird which is now Firefox). The bird gazed down upon the unbelievers and cast fire and thunder upon them. For the beast had been reborn with its strength renewed, and the followers of Mammon(M$) cowered in horror.

from The Book of Mozilla, 7:15(Date phoenix/firebird now Firefox was created)

It's been there as long as Mozilla has been around actually, and the "beast" actually refers to Netscape, not IE. The unbelievers are the "IE fanboys" however. The ones who were "unbelievers" that Netscape would succeed in the beginning. They are now rejoicing that Netscape had finally fallen.

I can't believe some of you have never seen this. This is 10 years old!

Edit: Just saw the Wikipedia entry and I suggest you take a look there for more information. It explains all of the history of "The Book of Mozilla".

Edit 2: Heh, supernova, I just read what you said again and it's actually quite funny. You say the beast which has fallen is IE, and then say that the unbelievers that rejoiced were IE fanboys. IE fanboys rejoicing for IE falling? Besides, we cannot yet put in the history books that IE has "fallen".

And so at last the beast (Netscape) fell and the unbelievers (IE fans) rejoiced. But all was not lost, for from the ash (Netscape code) rose a great bird (Phoenix). The bird gazed down upon the unbelievers and cast fire (Phoenix, now named Firefox) and thunder (Thunderbird) upon them. For the beast had been reborn with its strength renewed, and the followers of Mammon (Microsoft) cowered in horror.

...and then Mammon Rose up even stronger, bi7ch slapping the flaming bird back down to the ground! Mammon then declared, "7 is the holiest of all numbers, and you leak memory!"

From the book of Mammon 7:b1
