Nope, still using two of their products today, and waiting for the moment (as, I think, promised soon?) wherein I could donate/pay directly to/for firefox.

I don't broadly support Mozilla's aims (I also don't not - I'm an owner of a 1st-gen Firefox phone, for example), but we're just talking browsers here.

I think you proved his point. ;) He's talking about the Mozilla browser, the precursor to Firefox. (Well actually, Firefox was named Phoenix before it became Firefox.)

Firebird

Wasn't that the email client?

I think the email client was Thunderbird

The email client is still Thunderbird, it's in active development.

First Phoenix then Firebird, then they changed the name to Firefox because of the similarly named database (https://firebirdsql.org/).

Right and my memory is telling me that I was using it since one of the milestone releases, well before 0.9.5 when they added tabbed browsing.
