Why Birth of Firefox

During the same year that Mozilla 1.0 and Netscape 7 were released, development began on what would become the Firefox web browser. This splinter project was started by a small group of disgruntled Mozilla developers who were extremely disappointed in the Netscape browser and not satisfied with Mozilla's mediocre successes.

We believed in the technology that Mozilla had built in the last 4 years, but we knew that commercial organizations like Netscape and Microsoft did not care about making a better browser because it was not in their financial interest to do so.

• In 1999, the IE team was more than 1,000 people and it crushed Netscape removing any commercial incentive in web browsers and in 2001, after the release of IE 6, the IE team was disbanded.

• With no money to be made from the browser itself, the Netscape.com portal, which was still generating revenue, took over the development of the Netscape browser.

Mozilla Manifesto : Principal

1. 인터넷(월드와이드웹)은 현대인의 삶의 중요한 영역이다. 특히 교육, 커뮤니케이션, 협업, 비지니스, 오락 및 사회 전반의 영역에서 핵심 분야이다.

2. 인터넷은 누구나 공유하고 접근 가능한 전 세계적 공공 자원이다.

3. 인터넷으로 개인과 인류의 삶을 더욱 풍성해져야 한다.

4. 인터넷에서 개인 정보 및 권리의 보호는 기본 사항이며 선택 사항이 아니다.

5. 개인은 인터넷에서 스스로 경험들을 만들어 나갈 능력을 가지고 있어야 한다.

6. 공공 자원으로서 인터넷의 효율성은 통신 규약, 데이터 포맷, 컨텐츠 등의상호운용성과 혁신 및 전 세계적 분산 참여 활동에 의해 좌우된다.

7. 자유 S/W와 공개 S/W는 인터넷을 공공 자원으로 발전 시키는데 기여 하고 있다.

8. 투명한 커뮤니티 기반 활동은 참여와 책임과 신뢰를 촉진하고 있다.

9. 인터넷의 발전에서 상업적 기여 역시 많은 이익을 가져오고 있다. 상업적 목표와공공의 이익간의 균형은 매우 중요하다.

10. 인터넷에서 공적 측면을 증대 시키는 것은 하는 것은 공헌, 참여, 시간의 가치와중요한 목표다.
