"Firebird" is a bad choice as name.

Will the real Firebird please stand up?
Why don't they just use the old name "Navigator" - that name fits better.
"Firebird" sound like a kid's program to me. Maybe a shooter game. And it definitely has a touch of a wannabe-marketing-name... "The new nimbus 2000" could have a successor "the new nimbus firebird" (for those harry potter fans, that sounds plausible, doesn't it?)
Even as mozilla has "risen from it's ashes" that picture is lost with the name of Phoenix - and phoenix isn't mozilla browser... so it's only partially correct anyway.
But the name is a bad choice for a maybe-corporate use browser.
