Mozilla created Firefox to be an amazingly fun, safe and fast Web browser that embodies the values of our mission to promote openness, innovation and opportunity online. In the nine years since we first launched Firefox, we have moved and shaped the Web into the most valuable public resource of our time

We are excited to join together with the global community of Mozillians to start the celebration of Firefox’s golden ninth birthday on November 9. To celebrate, we’d like to highlight nine of our favorite gifts we’ve given the Web over the past year.

We’ve got some exciting things coming soon including an updated browser interface and Firefox optimized for Windows 8 tablets. We can’t wait to see what other new innovations come to the Web in the next year! Join in on Twitter to celebrate Firefox. Tweet the hashtag #HappyBirthdayFirefox with your favorite Firefox memory or feature all week.
