The creator of Firefox was only 19 years old when the program was first released.

At the tender age of 15, Blake Ross decided to accept an internship with Netscape and move from Florida to California. This was somewhat of a risky choice because Microsoft was eating Netscape's lunch with Internet Explorer at the time. Fortunately, Netscape's software was open-source. This allowed Blake and a group of colleagues to start over from scratch in 2002 and develop a faster, simpler web browser.
Two years later, their vision was realized in a program called Firefox, which became an overnight hit. In December 2009, Firefox 3.5 accomplished what had previously been thought impossible by dethroning Internet Explorer 7 as the world's most popular web browser!
