Firefox was originally developed as an offshoot of the Mozilla Browser project, developed by [[Netscape]], as a lightweight version of the software.  The original Mozilla browser was extremely feature rich, including such things as an [[HTML]] editor, which created a large and correspondingly slow piece of software.  Firefox has gone through several name changes, all due to existing trademarks.  It was originally named ''Phoenix'', then ''Firebird'' and finally ''Firefox''.
