Back in 2004, the Mozilla Foundation placed a two-page Firefox advocacy ad in The New York Times, featuring the names of 10,000 donators.
What I wasn’t expecting though, was this prominently featured quote:
“I installed Firefox on my laptop
today. It’s so fast — I never knew
there could be that much of a
difference.”
— Stephen Cropp, New Zealand
What a legend. I wonder if Mr. Cropp is still using Firefox, and what he’s up to these days.

In my memory it was Firebird for quite a while before it rebranded to Firefox. Long enough that I felt sceptical about the change - like the Firebird brand was strong enough that they were making a mistake.
Actually, looking back, it was only Firebird for less than a year…
The years were so much longer when we were younger 🙂
