Regardless of my fandom for IE, I have just noticed on Neowin.Net that there is a one-on-one interview with Mitchell Baker, the CEO of Mozilla, and APCMag.com. They discuss the creation of Firefox and where it's future lies. Unfortunately, the interview is over 8,000 words long and time like that just doesn't come easy.
APCMag.com has, however, broken it up into 12 useful sections:
Part 1: How 12 people made Firefox 1.0 (http://apcmag.com/6040/how_12_people_banded_together_to_make_firefox_1_0)

It is a she. :blink: Hair, there and everywhere: according to Baker, her hairstyle's similarity to a Firefox tail is entirely coincidental

Dan Warne (APC): So speaking of add-ons I'm sure a lot of people are curious to know why you guys haven't built an ad blocker into Firefox?
Mitchell Baker: I don't know I would have to ask actually!
Just one example :blink:
