One of the most popular web browsers Mozilla Firefox celebrated its eighth birthday on 9th november 2012. I have always found Firefox as a great open source product and love it. If you believe some sources then Firefox happens to be the second or third most widely used web browser.
Some facts about Firefox:
Firefox is written in C/C++, javascript,css, XBL and XUL.
It uses Gecko web browser engine. Gecko itself is a open source layout engine used in many applications developed by Mozilla .
Gecko is written in C++ and is cross-platform, and runs on various operating systems including BSDs, Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris, OS/2, AIX, OpenVMS, and Microsoft Windows.
Gecko is the third most-common layout engine on the World Wide Web, after Trident (used by Internet Explorer for Windows since version 4) and WebKit (used by Safari and Google Chrome), and followed by Presto (used by Opera).
