Firefox born from Netscape because Netscape were dumb enough to fall for that "end users" stories and finally closed shop
Why did Netscape close? Even the "end users" could not do anything with the open code when it was released for open source development. Any Netscape/Firefox coder contributors on this list to open our views? Rgds.

PS Everybody knows netscape was killed by the bundling of IE in windows, or do you need the opinion of IE developers? On Wed, Nov 30, 2011 at 4:24 AM, Frankline Chitwa <frank.chitwa@gmail.com>wrote:

@Franline, I don't know what anti-proprietary books you read and seems they are seriously flawed, but if I agree that Netscape will killed by the bundling of IE, then how did firefox find it self being used on windows? Care to elaborate more? Rgds. :-) On Wed, Nov 30, 2011 at 4:25 AM, Frankline Chitwa <frank.chitwa@gmail.com>wrote:

Firefox and Netscape existed in different eras, where Internet users operated differently
@Dennis, care to get down to the specifics of the demise of Netscape, when it opened it source code, and why AOL stopped funding and to its eventual demise. And when did firefox come around? On Wed, Nov 30, 2011 at 8:16 AM, Dennis Kioko <dmbuvi@gmail.com> wrote:
