Just a historical note: "Phoenix" was the former (original) name of just the Firefox browser. They had to change it because of... guess what?... trademark issues (!!!) :-), so Phoenix became Firebird at first, and finally, after complaints from the Firebird RDBMS people, it was called Firefox.
Now, I remember of an 80's Warner Bros (?) spy-action movie "Firefox", which was the codename of a revolutionary USSR jet fighter a US commando had to steal, or destroy (I don't remember)... time for a new upstream name change? <grin>
Hmmm, but this belongs to -curiosa, I'd say...
