I have been accessing, using the internet since probably around 1991, using my dad's academic account and then schools and then home. I've used the internet before the web existed, sending emails, downloading freeware and sharewares from "huge" ftp repository. Sharing ftp site, using Usenet to find more and share more. This was a time you had to buy Ethernet running Unix (hello Dec Alpha).
At the time my gig was either running OS/2, and Linux Slackware on my Pentium machine. I then got into the Beos world, and that was one OS that Netscape didn't ship binaries for. Microsoft had started pushing Internet explorer (IE). I was starting to work and *had* to use Windows. I came up with the idea of using Mozilla at work in order to find bugs that would later be fixed when I'd use it home on my favorite OS.
So I started using Mozilla builds for windows, and then following planet and mozilla.org to be aware of the process. I would now and then file bugzilla issues, often to discover they've been filled already :-) I clearly remember the day tabs were introduced. I walked around the room I was working in showing the great new feature to my colleagues that were using Mozilla. There were no formal releases, at the time CI-CD didn't exist completely yet, so you could keep the same version for a day or for a week depending on how broken the tree was
The web landscape was dominated by . Hence, for some forseable future I'll be running nightlies in hopes of keeping the web open. I'm lurking at Servo and following it's development, reporting issues there because I see it has an alternative to Firefox, but it's far from being ready yet.
I'd encourage some of my readers to try/use Nightly. If you choose to do so, send in crash reports and enable telemetry.
