Firefox and its Phonetic Rise

Being a programmer who learned the programming stuff during late 90's and to had my understanding got introduced during one of the best times and certainly best place (in the idylic Charm of Goa). One of the biggest reason I think it was because was seeing the growth of the Open Source Movement. Especially being from the socialistic mindset of being an Indian as well as ecnomic realities of being an Indian Student Open Source movement was something that appealed to all of us. The mindset was certainly helped by presence of a towering fugure of My Gurunandan Bhatt (http://www.codesutra.net/), many of us did treat him like Genius which to very high degree I also give credence to. From seeing what Collaborative effort could give especailly the Linux OS (some of the stuff we say in Linux would be put in Windows years after we saw it) and seeing the code was more like giving some matter to dark hole, we gobbled whatever came our way.
