Being the most widely used browser in the world is irrelevant. It's important that Mozilla software will continue to be available and compatible when people need it, now and in the future. Other browser makers must always be aware that they will never be able to abuse a market dominance, because Mozilla will always be waiting for users to come back with our arms wide open to make them feel home in the web.

Or you could simply remember that it is always haystack,needle for strings and needle,haystack for arrays. Not that complicated.

Actually, Mozilla Suite 1.0 was released in June 2002, and was way superior to anything previously available for Linux and the BSDs, and Mozilla Suite 1.4, released in June 2003, was actually competitive with the proprietary offerings of it's day, so the "dark ages" was really just 4-5 years...
