Microsoft owns FireFox and Mozilla owns IE 7.0

https://ie7.com is owned by a Firefox fan and advertises FireFox, recently I found out https://www.msfirefox.com/ which talks about Microsoft FireFox 2007 :) and it has a Microsoft copyright notice at the bottom.

 Ok  I'm super confused now!! Looks like IE 7 is a browser from Mozilla and FireFox is from Microsoft. Hope I got this right :|.

    msfirefox.com is clearly a satire. The copyright notice is just part of the spoof.

    If Firefox is independent of MS and more than just a skin over Google (Which I was lead to believe) why does FF still use Google all the time ? And does the browsing security still apply i.e. "Is my browsing history stored on a Google / Microsoft CLOUD" as I suspect ! Considering the amount of lies told in this ever invasive world and invasion of privacy ! I would love to believe Firefox is all it say’s but have serious doubts !  
