What was Firefox 1.0 called? Feel free to add previous versions not listed above for any of these applications. No idea where Firebird and Phoenix (Firefox and Thunderbird predecessors) fit in the Gecko system. Also not sure where the Gecko versions break for Minefield.

If anyone knows what the various Flock versions were called, let me know. Flock builds are always named after birds. I don't know any before Flock 0.7. Flock developer builds are called Sulfur.

Flock 0.7 - Cardinal
Flock 0.8 - Sulfur Cormorant
Flock 0.9 - Cormorant
Flock 1.0 - Falcon
Flock 1.1 -

What was Firefox 1.0 called?

Firefox. There was no real distinction between Releases and Nightly's before 1.0 was released. The 0.9 version Security Updates were somewhat intermixed with the work (Nightly's) that was being done on the next release - 1.0. The whole Trunk > Branch > Release concept was refined around that time.

The DeerPark, BonEcho, Minefield/GranParadiso naming scheme for Trunk/Branch Builds was instituted after Firefox 1.0 was released.

What was Firefox 1.0 called?

Its codename was Phoenix.

[RyanVM]

What was Firefox 1.0 called?

Its codename was Phoenix.

Uh, no. Phoenix was the original name of the browser prior to being renamed to Firebird and then to Firefox.

Now, if you want to get picky, you could say that Firefox 1.0 was called Aviary as it was on the Aviary branch anyway.

Then I guess the maintainers of http://www.mozilla.org/projects/firefox ... p-1.0.html and http://www.mozilla.org/projects/firefox/roadmap.html were wrong. Seamaiden was asking for the codename and not the name of the browser at the time.


As said by pal-moz, it is the Trunk itself that has the codename of Minefield as once Firefox 3.0 is released the Trunk will still be Minefield.

James,

Where did you come up with that list? (and don't tell me that you would have to shoot me if you revealed the source - LOL)

[RyanVM]

Interesting, I was unaware that 1.0 was actually carrying Phoenix as its codename. You learn something new every day I guess.

[Seamaiden]

Thanks for the replies. Is anything in my original post incorrect? If so, please tell me what so I can fix it.

Still hoping someone can fill in the blanks for Flock. Feel free to add versions of other apps to the list also.

The user agents at SillyDog was a quick source for the Gecko rv versions of the releases.

Missed this one... as I posted the other two.

Not an Official Mozilla site though.
