I think you proved his point. ;) He's talking about the Mozilla browser, the precursor to Firefox. (Well actually, Firefox was named Phoenix before it became Firefox.)

Right and my memory is telling me that I was using it since one of the milestone releases, well before 0.9.5 when they added tabbed browsing.

First Phoenix then Firebird, then they changed the name to Firefox because of the similarly named database (https://firebirdsql.org/).

The email client is still Thunderbird, it's in active development.
