You might be right. I remember a domain handover, but maybe it was firefox.com rather than getfirefox.com … I vaguely recall the opposite though, that somebody ended up redirecting to the Mozilla site pre-acquisition as a way of promoting Firefox. I vaguely recall knowing that the ownsership transfer took place because suddenly the URL that the domain redirected you to had some extra tracking query parameters added to it. The earliest version of getfirefox.com redirects to Mozilla’s Firefox homepage which while it sells the browser does not have a clear Download link. I remember one of the earliest fan-made Firefox sites having a prominent download link as a way of helping people install the browser and switch to Firefox before there was a switch campaign site. https://web.archive.org/web/20040619171818/http://mozilla.org/products/firefox/ https://web.archive.org/web/20040619171818/http://mozilla.or... At the time the download page looked something like this: https://web.archive.org/web/20040619111818/http://www.mozilla.org/download.html https://web.archive.org/web/20040619111818/http://www.mozill... and it was easier to download the old Communicator suite still. The Firefox.com site obviously gained in popularity in 2004 as Firefox started gaining traction, based on how often The Wayback Machine was crawling it… https://web.archive.org/web/20040601000000*/Firefox.com https://web.archive.org/web/20040601000000*/Firefox.com The site was transferred by mid-September of 2004: https://web.archive.org/web/20040914022408/http://www.firefox.com/ https://web.archive.org/web/20040914022408/http://www.firefo... and later that month a note was added about a different Firefox company: https://web.archive.org/web/20040922075506/http://www.firefox.com/ https://web.archive.org/web/20040922075506/http://www.firefo... I should add, I think the tracking codes I’m remembering were part of https://wiki.mozilla.org/Spreadfirefox_affiliates https://wiki.mozilla.org/Spreadfirefox_affiliates
