Phoenix/Firebird 0.8 is out but the name changes (again)..

The mozzy juggernaut carries on with release 0.8 of the increasingly popular FireFox…

Wait? FireFox.. surely you mean "Firebird" or even (if you remember back that far) "Phoenix". Nope, its name change time again in open source land. Apparently, an open source project of the same name has laid claim to Firebird first… so FireFox is the NEW name for the browser…
[blockquote]The new release also marks a name change for the new browser, which was previously known as Mozilla Firebird. “We are pleased to release a new preview version of Mozilla Firefox,” commented Mitchell Baker, President of the Mozilla Foundation. “To avoid overlap with another open source project, we have also decided to changed the name of this product from Mozilla Firebird to Mozilla Firefox.”[/blockquote]
What do you make of that malarky?
