Didn't it used to be called Firebird or something but had to change its name due to copyright? I remember when it was v1 and seeing advertising about it in the paper. It really did start the ball rolling in getting people away from IE. Chrome then came out and dominated.

I remember installing Firebird 0.6 off a magazine cover disk!

I think I switched back to Mozilla pretty quickly as I was like "but this is just a browser, where's email and IRC"

I guess I didn't originally get the point. Ended up switching back a couple of years later
