Firefox wasn't even around for most of the 2001-2006 era, until somebody finally decided the mozilla all in wonder mega suite was a crime against nature. Sure, firefox keeps IE in line, but mozilla also has a history of jumping the tracks without strong competition.

The first version of firefox was in 2002, and was already better than IE: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/phoenix/releases/0.1/
