I was including all "Mozilla" browsers (Phoenix, Firebird, whatever) under that umbrella. I didn't start using Firefox seriously until roughly 1.5. Maybe it was just me!

I was there too. Actually ever since Mozilla M1 or M2 I think. Things were pretty rough back then (so much blue!). Then the browser-only Phoenix followed by the rename.

I (and presumably others) hated the notion of a Microsoft/Windows-only web. Younger folks just don't realize how close we came and the debt owed to those Mozilla devs.
