Mozilla is the nonprofit organization that gave the world the first true rival to Microsoft Internet Explorer. Firefox is the second-most used web browser in the world today and because of it the way we surf the Internet has changed dramatically.

Their success was in part based on the lack of competitors. Firefox started gaining share when there was no one else around. Opera didn?t capitalize on this, but Firefox did. Their goal to penetrate the most difficult market has been achieved and it?s their desire to enter the mobile operating system world as well. Is this going to be tougher than the browser market? Considering that they haven?t yet released Firefox OS the answer is a very loud and clear: yes!
