This is HUGH!!111....Stephen Colbert is responsible for creating the latest version of Firefox!

I just discovered this out of boredom when I decided to randomly look at the credits for developers of Firefox. I gotta email this to Colbert....perhaps he'll feature it on his show next week :D

2. Version 1.5.0.11 says natch

Not to ruin your fun, but I think mine's the latest version. An older one, perhaps?

6. So he's already covered it?

Also, his name has appeared in the credit since at least last October, when 2.0 came out:

8. Looks like a joke. If you read down further, you'll see. But check this out!

I found this at Mozilla.org

<http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/browser/base/content/credits.xhtml>

I wonder if I were to add my name on this page, if it would show up in the next FireFox update?:shrug:

7. Hey, where's my name? I've contributed over the years too!

I've been using "FireFox since before it was called "FireFox."

I started "testing" it (and contributing lots of bug reports) since ver. 0.5, back when it was called "Firebird" (I think that's what it was called, that was a very long time ago.)
