then why does it redirect to mozilla? Though its currently throwing this helpful message: Http/1.1 Service Unavailable - Rahul Das

Registrant: DNS Admin Mozilla Corporation 1981 Landings Dr. Mountain View CA 94043 US Is the listed owner of firefox.com - Brian Sullivan

I think there was some competition over the url. A long time ago, firefox.com was some other website and had a link to mozilla on the homepage. Some arrangment they had with each other. But mozilla owns it now. - Rahul Das

Yes they do know... like a year ago... - Alexander Schek via twhirl

I stand corrected. I still don't know WTF Moz is doing with the URL though. - Rafe Needleman via twhirl
