I've used Firefox since Phoenix and Linux since Firefox 1.0.
So what did Linux users use before Firefox?

Opera's Linux version is pretty young so definitely not Opera. And Mozilla is after-Netscape. So maybe Konquerer?

The first gui browser I used on Linux was Netscape on SuSE 5.2 about 10 years ago. Lynx was the first browser I used period.

When I started using Linux in Dec 2003 I used Mozilla Internet suite. Worked fine but switched over to Firefox when it showed up.

I used Netscape (I think version 4 and 6), Konqueror and Lynx. Later on Mozilla and then Firefox.

Not Linux, but I used to have to use Sun Unix 14 years ago. We used Netscape.

Back then there really wasn't any CSS/JS going on, so it wasn't too bad.
I didn't use a computer before Firefox, but I imagine people used Netscape, a CLI broser (lynx, links2, etc.) and Konqueror.

I used Internet Explorer before I switched to Firefox. Needless to say, I hadn't started with Linux yet.
