basically since the 90s if you consider netscape, considering firefox was spun of from them

And between the two we had Mozilla Suite (which is what SeaMonkey basically is today)

It was called Firebird in late 2003, and earlier that year it was called Mozilla.

I'm pretty sure it was Phoenix before it was Firebird. They had to change away from both names due to naming conflicts from other projects.

I've been here the entire time and I have never been thrilled.

@tommi @firefox @mozilla Where can I get that shirt? I need it.

[–] tommi@pan.rent 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

@anonicus @firefox @mozilla Unfortunately they are just giving it here, I could not get it!

[–] anonicus@shitposter.world 7 points 5 months ago (2 children)

@tommi @firefox @mozilla Smh, They really need to bring back the Merch store. I used to see it as a kid but as soon as I turned adult and able to buy something, There's no more merch store.

Likely cost more than the funding it would have or was bringing in to support Firefox development

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

I miss the old one. The current one isn't great.

That seems kinda sad and pathetic for a celebration.

[–] xploit@lemmy.world 53 points 5 months ago (2 children)

What would you say if they had a big party with a lot of PR/marketing behind it;
"they're wasting all this money to have fun instead of making the product better"?

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 11 points 5 months ago

Yes, because they just want to shit on stuff.

This cake brought to you by Russia.

Used by the Kremlin themselves aww .

Also the Firefox suit look fucking depressed .

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 14 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Ah, you're here to shit on something you're out of the loop on

[–] Psych@lemmy.sdf.org -1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Wait did they go back on it ?

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Yes. And as they said they only temporarily suspended it while they figured out what their options were.

But people gotta feed their outrage addictions, I get it.
