Happy Birthday Mozilla -or- Open Source can be Delicious
It's no secret, we love us some Firefox around the Download Squad. It's slick, it's fast, it's (generally) stable. So, when we realized that it's been 10 years since the keystone moment of Netscape's open source commitment, we just couldn't help ourselves. We enlisted Slashfood blogger and professional pastry chef Shayna Glick to help us show Mozilla just exactly how we feel.
