Because the name Mozilla Firefox is cool , it is very great! it rocks. And mozilla is great , too.

Marc Andreesen was a student at the University of Illinois, Champagne-Urbana. In the days when the World-Wide Web was in its infancy and used exclusively TEXT to link other text documents together, Andreesen developed a graphical web browser that he named "Mosaic", because it would form a "mosaic" of text and graphics in the page all together. When he graduated from college, he began work on an improved Mosaic program. It would be a SUPER mosaic program.

It would become the Godzilla of Mosaic programs! It would be the MOsaic godZILLA program, and the original graphic was a fire-breathing monster. The company was known as Netscape.

Netscape was purchased by America Online, and languished until the core of Mozilla developers broke away to form their own company.
