Recommended Posts

:) just trying to start up a conversation. ^_^ is there something wrong with that? sure i could of used google but i rather interact with neowin and the people behind it. hehe :)

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?

You want some conversation then come up with a topic thats warrants conversation.

well i don't know where you guys have been for the recent posts but it seems we all have mixed answers on when firefox really started, or if "Phoenix" was the beginning of it (it may have shared the same code or they renamed the project ... whatever the case may be) so my question really wouldn't have been properly answered even if i googled it ... i don't think that counts as a "Simple" question when so many users have given me different opinions on when it really started and the whole "just because it had a different project name doesn't mean its not firefox" thing.

either way it doesn't matter ... its a topic and i see no rules against it ^_^. so please quit it with the typical forumer you should of known better and googled superiority attitude. it really gives the community a bad image.

sigh, if nobody asked this kind of questions then google wouldn't come up with so many easy to find search results about it It's not like google dynamically sucks content out of its ass. So stop whining about it.

Anyways ... opera was one of the first browsers long before firefox or even mozilla. But it was one of the only versions to be not free. You had to pay for it or endorse the ads it showed you. Because of this it wasn't very popular or widely used. This changed with version 8.5 a few years ago if i remember correctly. Opera was also one of the first browsers to implement tabbed browsing, mouse gestures and better standard support.

Let's not forget that Firefox is the continuation of Mozilla which is the continuation of Netscape Navigator, so technically "Firefox" (Gecko) started in late 1994.
