Firefox was never mosaic. It is the successor of Netscape Navigator, kind of, they're not the same project and there was no continuity but Mozilla was created by Netscape. Microsoft licensed Mosaic to create Internet Explorer based on it.
And Netscape was created by?
.
By the Netscape Communication Corporation.
This sent me down a little rabbit hole, lol.
January '93 - NCSA Mosaic released.
April '94 - Mosaic corp founded.
October '94 - Netscape browser released.
November '94 - Mosaic corp renamed Netscape corp
June '97 - Netscape Communicator released.
September '02 - Phoenix released
May '03 - Phoenix renamed to Firebird
February '04 - Firebird renamed to Firefox
I couldn't find any indication that there was any code in common between NCSA Mosaic, Netscape, and/or Phoenix.
