Arguably two major rewrites: one early in the life of the Mozilla project, when the FOSS community deemed the original Netscape code dump to be nearly unmaintainable, and the second during the creation of Firefox itself (although that was mostly a re-do of the browser chrome, while the core was left untouched).
- batbomb 10y agoIt was Phoenix -> Firebird -> Firefox.
- icebraining 10y agoThose were just name changes, the rewrites were Netscape → Mozilla Suite → Phoenix/Firebird/Firefox.
