OT: Mozilla Firebird -> Mozilla Firefox!

Mozilla Firebird renamed to Firefox

The standalone Mozilla Firebird browser has been renamed to Firefox and
received an upgrade to version 0.8. This latest release features a new
download manager, bookmarks enhancements, better support for extensions and
several thousand other improvements. Windows users can benefit from a new
installer, while Mac OS X users will enjoy the new Aqua-style theme, Kevin
Gerich and Stephen Horlander's Pinstripe.
Firefox is the browser's third name. The last name, Firebird, drew strong
objections from the Firebird database community when it was announced in
April. The database community's supporters and commercial backers waged a
high-profile campaign against mozilla.org and affiliated parties until
mozilla.org announced that Firebird would only be used as a codename. The
new Firefox moniker is intended to be used as a permanent product name and a
strong brand identity will be built around it. The new name was chosen after
extensive international trademark searches and consultations with lawyers.
The process of registering Firefox as a trademark with the United States
Patent and Trademark Office began in December last year.

Thanks, but I already read the news.
