As of March 31st, Mozilla has turned two decades old.

Netscape Communications made two important announcements on January 23rd, 1998:

  • First, that the Netscape Communicator product would be available free of charge;
  • Second, that the source code for Communicator would also be free.

On March 31st, the first developer release of the source code to Communicator was made available.

    I always check the distribution's update management, and up to now none of the Firefox updates was marked as security update.

    When that happens, I'll decide what to do. Probably it won't be ESR, as that's a temporary solution. Currently the most likely solution is to use Palemoon for everyday browsing, and an updated Firefox for the few web sites that don't work with Palemoon.
