California – Over the last 10 years, one organization has fostered some of the web’s most influential free software releases. The Mozilla project was born March 31, 1998, when Netscape released the code to its Communicator 5.0 web-browser software under an open source license. As Mozilla – now a corporation overseen by a nonprofit foundation – enters its second decade, its developers are fully committed to the hugely successful Firefox browser. The latest version, Firefox 3 – the only clear challenger to Microsoft Internet Explorer’s dominance of the browser market – is due in just a few months.

Mozilla prepares to celebrate its 10th birthday Monday. To commemorate the event, Wired.com was invited to take a tour of the company’s San Francisco Bay Area headquarters. Step inside and see where the Fox gets its fire.
