The Firefox Wikipedia page states:
"Initial release November 9, 2004; 7 years ago" [1]
Maybe they're referring to the 1.0 release? I do remember using Firefox way earlier than that, it must have been 2000 or 2001. I guess those were 0.x releases. Wikipedia doesn't seem to say anything about that.

- varunsrin 14y agoYes, I'm pretty sure I was using Firefox 0.7 in 2003 or early 2004, so that November date must be about 1.0 release. EDIT: It was called Firebird back then, too

- ubernostrum 14y agoA while back I asked about this for another piece of software I work on, and was told that in general, Wikipedia preferred to use the date of the 1.0 release. Though looking at some other articles, it seems this is inconsistently applied at best.
