September 23rd

On this day – 23rd of September 2002 – Firefox was launched! 

Firefox, a free and open- source web-browser was first created in September 2002 under the name “Phoenix”. The web browser had to change its name due to trademark issues, and it was first renamed firebird. This name also had to be changed due to criticism from the “Firebird Software Project”. In November 2004 was Mozilla Firefox 1.0 released. Firefox had a desk browser share of 17 percent in June 2015. http://gs.statcounter.com/#desktop-browser-ww-monthly-201208-201507
