Firebird becomes FireFox
Monday, February 9, 2004 by Dan Lorimer | Discussion: WinCustomize News
Mozilla have announced the release of their new name for their next generation web browser Firebird.
Firefox is the new name chosen by Mozilla as it is "similar to Firebird. It's easy to remember. It sounds good. It's unique. We like it".
The name change comes from a legal issue regarding the use of firebird by another open source project that already holds rights to the name, and Mozilla felt the change would stop any confusion before it has began.

To address a concern that I received via email, Firefox does not affect Incredimail in any way shape or form.

Hey Scratch
The full screen modes rock.
The mouse browsing features are great.
The pop-up AND ad-blocker has been very effective for me.
Favorites are linked dynamically to I.E. and vise versa, I still use it occasionally.
The ability to disable almost anything on the fly, such as flash, activeX, scripts, etc.
I haven't come across a site yet that it doesn't work with.
Just an all around great browser...
