I've been using Firefox since it was called Phoenix, just looked and it has been 20 years.

I used Mosaic also but I didn't know of any lineage between it and Phoenix, Firebird, Firefox. Is it related?

When the Mosaic devs formed Netscape adopted the "Mozilla" kaiju (giant monster Mosaic) as their mascot. When Netscape open-sourced Nagator, Mozilla went along with it.
