The first version of Mozilla Firefox was released by a team of just 12-15 individuals!!!
It is the natural tendency of human beings to relax after completing a task and achieving a goal. If the goal required a lot of hard work, commitment and dedication, it is all the more natural for the individual to feel as if he or she deserves a break from the work at hand. However, the developers of the Firefox web browsing software application have not shown any signs of stress and are not showing any indication of wanting a break from their work despite the fact that they have worked very hard to release version 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 of the Firefox web browsing software application. Despite the fact that the Firefox web browsing software application has achieved a lot within its first three releases, the developers of the Firefox web browsing software application refuse to relax and adopt a casual approach.
This attitude of the developers of the Firefox web browsing software application is the result of the initial problems that the developers faced in creating the Firefox web browsing software applications. The first version of the Firefox web browsing software application was released with a team of just twelve to fifteen persons working on the project. I do not think there is any precedent of a web browsing software application being released by such a small team.
No web browsing software application that has become a very popular web browsing software application has had such a modest and humble beginning. The developers of the Microsoft’s Internet Explorer web browsing software application had the support-not just financial but moral and technical support as well from the Microsoft Corporation. Despite this, the developers of the Internet Explorer web browsing software application did not do a good job and were not in a position to satisfy the requirements and expectations of the end users. On the other hand, a group of the twelve to fifteen individuals who shared nothing but the common goal of creating a web browsing software application that would redefine the way the people used the World Wide Web succeeded in creating the Firefox web browsing software application. Today, it is universally recognized as the most user friendly web browsing software application.
The success of the Firefox web browsing software application is all the more praiseworthy when one considers the challenge that the developers faced. A group of fifteen individuals decided to take on the most popular and most successful web browsing software application of all times. The group of fifteen individuals decided to create a web browsing software application that would challenge the Microsoft’s Internet Explorer web browsing software application, which had captured more than 95 percentage of the market when it was at its peak.
For just fifteen individuals to take on the most to successful web browser in the world and for fifteen individuals to believe that they can succeed requires a bit of madness and a lot of confidence in the product that is being created. Now, when one takes a look at the past, one realizes that the Firefox web browsing software application had all that was necessary to bring down the Microsoft’s Internet Explorer web browsing software applications. However, at that point of time, there is no doubt that the decision to separate from the Netscape Navigator project and the decision to create a standalone web browsing software applications called Mozilla Firefox must have caused a lot of stress and uncertainty to the developers of the Firefox web browsing software application. However, the developers of the Firefox web browsing software application went ahead and decided to create the most user-friendly and most productivity oriented web browser till date. The rest, as they say, is history.
