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...
