"Firefox" was the new name used in the 0.8 release of the WebBrowser previously known as "Firebird". "Firebird" was the new name used in the 0.6 release of the WebBrowser previously known as "Phoenix". Phoenix got renamed after the [BIOS] manufacturers of the same name complained. The Phoenix team then did "months of trademark research" to come up with Firebird, which is already the name of an OpenSource database! Strangely enough, that same database was also once called Phoenix and later changed their name to Firebird. The new name Firefox was registered as a trademark worldwide, although it's also the name of a Clint Eastwood sci-fi movie from the early 1980s.
