Well, I follow the Firebird lists (and am currently writing an app that 
uses the embedded dll - yummy - no horrible installation scripts! - any 
chance of putting that on the PostgreSQL todo list?) and on those lists 
there are senior Firebird people who have posted quotes from emails 
which they say (and I have no reason to disbelieve them) are from senior 
Mozilla people to the effect that they will stop using the Firebird 
moniker. 

There are also emails complaining about the sloth - not to say 
deliberate pussy-footing around - the the Mozilla crowd have been up to  
in not honouring their written committment to remove the Firebird part 
of the name for their browser.

There are those in the Firebird (db) crowd who are on the verge of 
suing, so it could get nasty yet!
