Wasn't the story of Stuart Parmenter being flown out to California to help with the browser based on his open-source contributions from his parents house in some midwstern town?

Was that Mozilla or Netscape at the time?

It was Netscape in 1999 he got flown out. Documented in Code Rush, which is an awesome documentary for anyone interested in the history of the Web:
