Mosaic plus money, 1994. The company died. The code became Firefox. That is a complicated grave.

## Why it lasted
- It made the web a consumer product. Mozilla is the ghost that lived.

## Near deaths
- The First Browser War. Internet Explorer plus the Windows bundle. AOL bought the rest.

## What would finish it
- AOL ended Netscape Navigator in 2008. Firefox had already left the building with the source.
