Names featured on the Mozilla Firefox 1.0 advert

Firefox 1.0 advert

Mozilla Firefox 1.0 was released on 9 November 2004. To advertise its release, Mozilla took out a two-page advert in the New York Times which featured the names of those who contributed to the crowdfunding for the advertisement, including mine.
