Page "The Book of Mozilla" Paragraph 64

" And when the beast had taken the quarter of the earth under its rule ..." is probably a reference to the 25 % market share Firefox had gained over the more popular Internet Explorer.

" Birds of Sulfur " references the developmental codename of Flock, which is Sulfur.

The " mountain views " references the city of Mountain View, California where the company that produces Flock was based at the time of writing.

The " 24 wise men " refer to the 24 staff employees of Flock at that time.

The " stars " refer to the star used in the branding (" Flockstar ").

As this verse is new ( version 1. 0 was released 5 November 2007 ), much of the meaning is still unclear, though " they took their pens and dared to create " most likely references to the fact of a lot of blogging, and social networking integration to Flock.

The section " Finally, they dared to share their deed with the whole of mankind.

" could possibly be making a reference to the fact that it is open source, and that they shared their good deed ( their creation of the browser ) with the world.
