Opera in 96, Firefox in 02. Come on, learn how to use google. It took 30 seconds to find that out.

Perhaps you should follow your own advice and use Google to find out Firefox came out in 2004, not 2002.

Netscape Navigator > Opera :p

Don't even go there... hahaha

Perhaps it would be better to compare the releases of the Mozilla Suite and Opera since Opera is more of a suite than just a browser... although Firefox is getting closer daily...

Opera

First Public Release: September, 1996 "2.1b1"

First Stable Release: December, 1996 "2.1"

Mozilla Suite

First Public Release: December 7, 1998 "Preview"

First Stable Release: March 19, 1999 "M3"

Firefox

First Public Release: September 23, 2002 "0.1"

First Stable Release: September 23, 2002 "0.1"

From Wikipedia, that page was easier than going to each browser itself :p

Firefox came out in 2004.

Phoenix maybe before, but he asked about Firefox...

Does it really matter what it was called? The fact is its the same browser. Just like if they were to change the name to something else now, we would all still know it was Firefox... The fact is its still the same codebase.

wasn't Firefox called Firebird before the lawsuit?

Firebird was after phoenix. because the mozilla guy where unabel to make an original name :p

well you could use google and start conversations in neowin with a topic title like "i wanna start a conersation"...

isnt that better? instead of asking questions that could be answered by google in a couple of secs...? i know forums exist to ask questions but there are some questions that are far too simple to be asked on a forum, thats why google exists dont you think?
