You younguns have no idea what the world was like before Firefox and the apreciation that you owe them. Firefox was created to break the stranglehold that Microsoft had on the web.  Mozilla saved the web and averted a great human tragedy with Firefox.  Before Firefox web developers regularly wrote non-standard HTML that worked only on IE, huge chunks of the web were visible only on IE, and Microsoft was trying to choke off innovation in order to save their desktop platform. Many thought the fight was hopeless and Microsoft had won. No one, including Google and Apple, was willing to take on the fight except for Mozilla, Opera and a few Linux crazies such as KHTML.  But it was ultimately Firefox that forced institutions such as banks to write standards compliant pages and saved the world from Microsoft domination.  The existence of Firefox is what allows you to use your KHTML browser and bitch about how Firefox is sad.
