JWZ was involved in getting Netscape released as open source, and in starting the Mozilla foundation. He left before Firefox.

He threw the Firefox release party at his nightclub, DNA Lounge, in 2002. Whether he was contributing code at that point, I couldn’t say, but he was doing a large amount of other, non-coding work to get the project off the ground and to popularize it.

The original comment said he "lead the creation of Firefox", which is usually credited to Blake Ross and Dave Hyatt. I have no doubt he provided support, but that's not the same thing.
