The old name was confusing. I constantly would see news regarding one and mistake it for the other. It had nothing to do with "this project used the same name and whined about it" and everything to do with "what the hell is this news article referencing 'Firebird' actually about: the browser or the DB?"
The only problem in this situation at all is that Mozilla has gone with 'Firebird' for a while now, vs switching earlier before the world got accustomed to the name.
