Firefox 2 Easter Egg
ADVERTISEMENTS
If you type in about:mozilla in the Firefox address bar and hit enter, you will be surprised to see a mysterious verse from the Book of Mozilla.
Here’s what you will find:
And so at last the beast fell and the unbelievers rejoiced. But all was not lost, for from the ash rose a great bird. The bird gazed down upon the unbelievers and cast fire and thunder upon them. For the beast had been reborn with its strength renewed, and the followers of Mammon cowered in horror.
from The Book of Mozilla, 7:15
The “beast” falling refers to Netscape being closed down by its now parent company AOL. The “great bird” that rises from the ash is probably the Mozilla Foundation, which was established to continue Mozilla development. The “Mammon” is probably Microsoft, Mozilla’s main commercial competitor.

This is a very old easter egg from netscape times with the beast being IE.

I am still in FF 1.5, but it appears to be a funny easter egg.
