    I was today years old when I learned that the first web browser I have ever touched (NN) was, in fact, the great grandparent of Firefox.

      Very little though, almost all that code has been replaced/rewritten over the years along with all the new stuff that has been added.

      Yup. Not much of it survives in the code since it was mostly rewritten from scratch but I guess if you looked at the nspr (portable runtime) or nss (crypto) code that there are remnants of those early days still in there.
