Like a Phoenix from the flames!

Which it was called initially throughout versions 0.1–0.5. I got onboard with version 0.7 when it was called Firebird, only for the 0.8 update to change the name yet again.

I’m glad someone got my reference. Sorry about your back pain.

I could swear I was using something in 1996. Was that a precursor to Firefox?

Netscape?

Lol. Touché

It wasn't netscape, but my memory says it was related to Firefox (but don't trust my memory).
