Phoenix to Firebird to Firefox
By Stephen Shankland on 10 November 2009 10:28
Mozilla dropped the Phoenix name in favour of Firebird, version 0.7 of which is shown here. It includes the built-in search box in the upper-right corner that, by leading to searches and search advertising at Google, provides the lion's share of Mozilla's revenue. The Firebird name also ran into trouble because there was an open-source database project of the same name, leading Mozilla eventually to move to Firefox.
