Firefox launches with a Kiwi boost (Computerworld NZ)

[Posted November 10, 2004 by cook]

Computerworld NZ interviews Ben Goodger of the Firefox browser project. "Firefox wasn't the first experimental Mozilla browser. A version for Mac OS X lives on as the Camino browser, and Goodger says an even earlier version was built with .Net which raises some intriguing possibilities. From the beginning, however, Firefox was envisaged as a browser for the masses. Open source projects are often criticised for including every feature or UI widget that some developer was motivated enough to add, but Goodger says keeping the interface simple was always a priority."
