A little bit of internet history. Firefox 1.0 (project name “Phoenix”) was released on November 9th 2004. On December 2nd 2004 this print ad was published in the German national newspaper FAZ (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung). Over 2400 people have donated nearly $60.000 at the time for this campaign. I was one of them (line 4).

These were exciting times. When you open your favourite browser today, think about how the world would look like without a free browser.

The advertisement placed in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung with the title "Feuer!" (German: Fire!).
