[Offer] Mozilla Firefox (Suite, Phoenix, Firebird, Chimera, Camino) milestones and betas
While searching through the browsers.evolt.org archive I've found these Mozilla Firefox betas (especially milestones) of different branches which would deserve to be on WinWorld, which are developed years prior to version 1.0 (2005) of this software, and these are:
Mozilla Suite (structure mirror of the classic Netscape
Communicator suite with Browser, Mail, HTML Editor and now Chat):

This is the last known build of Mozilla Suite (as far as I know in the archive) and nothing else came after it, so it's possible this suite was eventually scrapped before it got the final release.
Mozilla Phoenix/Firebird/Firefox (branch of the main Mozilla development tree, building a standalone web
browser unencumbered by a large and usually unnecessary featureset):
- Phoenix Release 0.1 (September 23 2002): https://cdn.browserarchive.org/mozilla/phoenix/0.1/phoenix-0.1-win32.zip
- Phoenix Release 0.2 (October 2 2002): https://cdn.browserarchive.org/mozilla/phoenix/0.2/phoenix-0.2-win32.zip
- Phoenix Release 0.3 (October 15 2002): https://cdn.browserarchive.org/mozilla/phoenix/0.3/phoenix-0.3-win32.zip
- Phoenix Release 0.4 (October 29 2002): https://cdn.browserarchive.org/mozilla/phoenix/0.4/phoenix-0.4-win32.zip
- Phoenix Release 0.5 (December 8 2002): https://cdn.browserarchive.org/mozilla/phoenix/0.5/phoenix-0.5-win32.zip
After 6 months, this browser was continued under the name Firebird, which was developed much slower than with Mozilla Suite. At that point, the archive began providing the source code for the browser.
- Firebird Release 0.6 (May 17 2003): https://cdn.browserarchive.org/mozilla/firebird/0.6/MozillaFirebird-0.6-win32.zip (binary) and https://cdn.browserarchive.org/mozilla/firebird/0.6/MozillaFirebird-0.6-source.tar.bz2 (source)
- Firebird Release 0.6.1 (July 28 2003): https://cdn.browserarchive.org/mozilla/firebird/0.6.1/MozillaFirebird-0.6.1-win32.zip (binary) and https://cdn.browserarchive.org/mozilla/firebird/0.6.1/MozillaFirebird-source-0.6.1.tar.bz2 (source)
- Firebird Release 0.7 (October 8 2003): https://cdn.browserarchive.org/mozilla/firebird/0.7/MozillaFirebird-0.7-win32.zip (binary) and https://cdn.browserarchive.org/mozilla/firebird/0.7/MozillaFirebird-source-0.7.tar.gz (source)
- Firebird Release 0.7.1 (October 27 2003) (Mac OS X and as a patch only?): https://cdn.browserarchive.org/mozilla/firebird/0.7.1/firebird-0.7.1-mac.dmg.gz
Here, it eventually became Firefox, although the archive does not have any files for it.
Mozilla Chimera/Camino (similar effort to Phoenix, but specifically geared to using the Cocoa
user interface APIs provided by Mac OS X):
- Chimera Release 0.2.7 (May 3 2002): https://cdn.browserarchive.org/mozilla/chimera/0.2.7/chimera27.dmg.gz
- Chimera Release 0.2.8 (May 28 2002): https://cdn.browserarchive.org/mozilla/chimera/0.2.8/chimera28.dmg.gz
- Chimera Release 0.3 (June 7 2002): https://cdn.browserarchive.org/mozilla/chimera/0.3/chimera-0.3.dmg.gz
- Chimera Release 0.4 (July 24 2002): https://cdn.browserarchive.org/mozilla/chimera/0.4/chimera-0.4.dmg.gz
- Chimera Release 0.5 (September 10 2002): https://cdn.browserarchive.org/mozilla/chimera/0.5/chimera-0.5.dmg.gz
- Chimera Release 0.6 (November 5 2002): https://cdn.browserarchive.org/mozilla/chimera/0.6/chimera-0.6.dmg.gz
After 4 months, this browser was continued under the name Camino.
- Camino Release 0.7 (March 7 2003): https://cdn.browserarchive.org/mozilla/camino/0.7/Camino-0.7.dmg.gz
Then, it had an year-long break and then eventually version 0.8 of Camino was released.
- Camino Release 0.8 Beta (May 18 2004): https://cdn.browserarchive.org/mozilla/camino/0.8/Camino-0.8b.dmg.gz
- Camino Release 0.8 (June 23 2004): https://cdn.browserarchive.org/mozilla/camino/0.8/Camino-0.8.dmg.gz (single-language) and https://cdn.browserarchive.org/mozilla/camino/0.8/Camino-0.8-MultiLang.dmg.gz (multi-language)
- Camino Release 0.8.1 (August 26 2004): https://cdn.browserarchive.org/mozilla/camino/0.8.1/Camino-0.8.1.dmg.gz (single-language) and https://cdn.browserarchive.org/mozilla/camino/0.8.1/Camino-0.8.1-MultiLang.dmg.gz (multi-language)
- Camino Release 0.8.2 (December 2 2004): https://cdn.browserarchive.org/mozilla/camino/0.8.2/Camino-0.8.2.dmg.gz (single-language) and https://cdn.browserarchive.org/mozilla/camino/0.8.2/Camino-0.8.2-MultiLang.dmg.gz (multi-language)
Eventually Camino was merged with Firefox and became it, although, as I said, the archive does not have any files for it.
I did not execute the files themselves for any more information (for some info it was checked through README and release note files), plus, the date of the builds were determined by checking the latest date of a file or folder, and if not possible, with some rough guesses, and the time is in EST time (GMT+2), so the date may not be correct if determining it as an UTC time.
