MOZILLA FIREFOX
Mozilla has its roots in the original browser by Netscape called Netscape Navigator, which
was introduced in the early 1990s. It featured a mascot resembling the movie creature
Godzilla. Mosaic was a browser developed at the University of Illinois; it later became
Netscape Navigator. h e combination of Mosaic and Godzilla resulted in Mozilla, which is
currently a nonproi t company, the Mozilla Foundation. Firefox is Mozilla's primary browser
that supports HTML5.
Besides supporting both Windows and Macintosh operating systems, Firefox also supports
the Linux operating system. Linux is not considered a primary OS for home computers, but it
is for servers. Firefox is available free for all the supported operating systems. Figure 1-4
shows a screenshot of an HTML5 application in Firefox.
