Firefox celebrates its tenth anniversary this week with the release of version 33.1, a special birthday edition of the browser, an edition designed specifically for developers.
The browser, developed by the non-profit Mozilla Foundation and volunteers, first made its debut in 2004 in a bid to provide a challenger for Internet Explorer following the demise of Netscape.
Today, the browser market is much more competitive, with Firefox and Google Chrome providing competition to Internet Explorer. Firefox has also helped to popularise features like add-ons and tabs, while privacy has been a constant focus.
Mozilla’s commitment to promoting Internet access and the open web has even led it to launch its own mobile operating system, Firefox OS, which hopes to allow for the creation of cheaper smartphones that will provide people on lower incomes and those in the developing world with a gateway to the Internet.
