Here in Italy the name change is greatly appreciated!

Imagine that in this country, ALL the people associates the word "Bird" to "Dick"...
In fact, in my language "Firebird" is... a flaming dick! WOW, what a browser name!

Although "Fox" sounds stupid to you anglophones, here it represents a very intelligent and fast animal, and the word FireFox sounds very well...

In conclusion, I think the name change is a great thing, and here in Italy the new name will be a very great trade mark.

Update: I've remembered that Firefox is also a name of a famous Malaguti's scooter.

That's the most convincing argument I've heard about the change to Firefox. I mean.. ALL of Italy is thinking "Flaming Dick" when EVERYONE loads up Mozilla Firebird.

Yeah, that's right!

If you have a Fire Bird, you really got a PROBLEM...
