This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

It was not called Firefox at first, it was phoenix. Hence the logo. They had to rename.

I remember when all this went down

After Phoenix, it also went as Firebird for some time after Firebird database forced them to change to Firefox.
