It  was considered<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Mozilla_Firefox#cite_note-11" target="_blank">[12]</a>  a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_bug" target="_blank">bug</a> and was "fixed" by Mike Connor to read "Cookies are pieces  of information stored by web pages on your computer. They are used to  remember login information and other data". The revision was regarded as  more likely to be helpful for the less technically oriented computer  users who were now using Firefox—representing Mozilla's desire to appeal  to mainstream users. After this happened, the following remarks were made by Blake Ross  over IRC to Mike Connor:    <blake2> congratulations mconnor   <blake2> you just destroyed a legend!The text became a popular <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In-joke" target="_blank">in-joke</a>  and on August 2004, the <a href="http://www.squarefree.com/extensions/delicious-delicacies/" target="_blank">Delicious Delicacies extension</a>,  which is no longer maintained and updated, was released by Jesse  Ruderman. This extension restored the old description of cookies,  available in several languages. As of Firefox 2.0, cookies no longer have a description in the  preferences window. [<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=History_of_Mozilla_Firefox&action=edit&section=5" target="_blank">edit</a>] Version 1.5  <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Deer_Park_alpha_1_installation.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/61/Deer_Park_alpha_1_installation.png/150px-Deer_Park_alpha_1_installation.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>  <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Deer_Park_alpha_1_installation.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://bits.wikimedia.org/skins-1.5/common/images/magnify-clip.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> "Deer Park", the codename of the Firefox 1.1 and 1.5 Alphas, did not  include Firefox branding.   On June 23, 2005, the Mozilla Foundation announced that Firefox 1.1  (which became Firefox 1.5) and other new Mozilla products will no longer  support <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_OS_X_v10.1" target="_blank">Mac OS X v10.1</a>. This is intended to improve  the quality of Firefox releases on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_OS_X_v10.2" target="_blank">Mac OS X v10.2</a> and above. Users of 10.1 could still use  Firefox versions from the 1.0.x branch (e.g. Firefox 1.0.7).  <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Deer_Park_alpha_1_options.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/03/Deer_Park_alpha_1_options.png/150px-Deer_Park_alpha_1_options.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>  <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Deer_Park_alpha_1_options.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://bits.wikimedia.org/skins-1.5/common/images/magnify-clip.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> Updated options window introduced in Firefox 1.5   Firefox 1.5 was released on November 30, 2005. The original plan was  for a Firefox 1.1 and later a Firefox 1.5. After the first two 1.1 alpha  builds, the Mozilla Foundation abandoned the 1.1 release plan and  merged it with the planned feature set of 1.5 instead, with 1.5 being  released later than was planned for 1.1. The new version resynchronised  the code-base of the release builds (as opposed to nightly builds) with  the core "trunk" which contained additional features not available in  1.0, as it <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fork_%28software%29" target="_blank">branched</a> from the trunk  around the 0.9 release. As such, there was a backlog of bug fixes  between 0.9 and the release of 1.0, which were made available in 1.5.  Version 1.5 implemented a new Mac-like <a href="http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/ben/archives/007377.html" target="_blank">options interface</a>, which was  the subject of much criticism from Windows and Linux users, with a "<a href="http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/ben/archives/007150.html" target="_blank">Sanitize</a>" action to allow a  person to clear their privacy related information without manually  clicking the "Clear All" button. In Firefox 1.5, a user can clear all  privacy-related settings simply by exiting the browser or using a  keyboard shortcut, depending on their settings. Moreover, the software  update system was <a href="http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/ben/archives/008067.html" target="_blank">improved</a> (with binary patches  now possible). There were also <a href="http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/ben/archives/008066.html" target="_blank">improvements</a> in the extension  management system, with a number of <a href="http://www.mozilla.org/projects/deerpark/new-extension-dev-features.html" target="_blank">new developer features</a>. Also, Firefox 1.5 had preliminary <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SVG" target="_blank">SVG</a>  1.1 support.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Mozilla_Firefox#cite_note-12" target="_blank">[13]</a>  This unplanned movement may have been due to the release of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opera_%28web_browser%29" target="_blank">Opera</a> 8.0 on April 19, 2005, which supported <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SVG_Tiny" target="_blank">SVG Tiny</a>.[<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:NOT#CRYSTAL" target="_blank">speculation?</a>] Alpha builds of Firefox 1.5 (1.1a1 and 1.1a2) did not contain Firefox  branding. They were labeled "Deer Park" (which was Firefox 1.5's  internal codename) and contained a different program icon. This was done  to dissuade end-users from downloading preview versions, which are  intended for developers only. Firefox 1.5.0.12 is the final version supported on Windows 95. [<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=History_of_Mozilla_Firefox&action=edit&section=6" target="_blank">edit</a>] Version 2 Main article: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Firefox_2" target="_blank">Mozilla Firefox 2</a>  <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Wikipedia_Main_Page_in_Firefox_2.0.0.12.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/58/Wikipedia_Main_Page_in_Firefox_2.0.0.12.png/250px-Wikipedia_Main_Page_in_Firefox_2.0.0.12.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>  <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Wikipedia_Main_Page_in_Firefox_2.0.0.12.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://bits.wikimedia.org/skins-1.5/common/images/magnify-clip.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.12 running on Ubuntu   On March 22, 2006, the first alpha version of Firefox 2 (Bon Echo  Alpha 1) was released. It featured Gecko 1.8.1 for the first time. Firefox 2 was released on October 24, 2006 and contained many new  features not found in Firefox 1.5, including improved support for SVG  and JavaScript 1.7, as well as UI changes. Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.x is the final version supported on Windows NT  4.0, 98 and Me. Mozilla Corporation has announced that it will not  develop new versions of Firefox 2 after the 2.0.0.20 release. They did  however continue development of Firefox 2 as long as other programs,  like the Thunderbird mail client, were depending on it. The final  internal release was 2.0.0.22, released in late April 2009. [<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=History_of_Mozilla_Firefox&action=edit&section=7" target="_blank">edit</a>] Firefox Live Chat In December 2007, <a href="http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Live+Chat" target="_blank">Firefox Live Chat</a> was launched.  It allows users to ask volunteers questions with hours of operation and  the possibility of help after hours.
