Firebird to FireFox

Mozilla team keep their promise:

* Mozilla Firebird Renamed Firefox, Version 0.8 Released
* Firefox 0.8 - The Browser, Rebranded
* The press release

If you stay tune at the Firebird mailing list as I, you would hear people asking time by time: when Mozilla is going to take action to settle the name conflict? Mozilla renamed its browser application, previously named Phoenix, to Firebird on April 2003. It has been brought concern to Firebird database community that the name conflict is hurting their promotion of the database server. Anyhow, it’s been promised Mozilla would take Firebird as an internal codename for the project and to rename it later in their release. Hence the rebranding. Hope this end the story. peace.
