Ben Goodger, Firefox lead engineer has posted a brief chronicle on how Firefox happened. It goes back to 1999 during the Netscape days and all the way up to Firefox 1.5.

On his own words: “A lot has been told about the development of the Firefox browser since Firefox 1.0. The reality is that the story is bigger than just Firefox 1.0. It goes back years, spans continents, and includes a cast of thousands. It’s a fantastic story, with all of your standard themes — greed, rage, turmoil, love lost. But mostly it’s a story of dedicated people laboring to create something they truly believe in.”
