Firefox ???

Post by Peter(6) »

Firebird changed to Firefox (forumname).
"MozillaZine Forum Index -> Firefox Builds"
Is this a mistake ?

So this is the non-code issue that was holding up release. No wonder.

It's just a name change fellas, don't get your panties in a bunch. This isn't the first one, and may well not be the last. It's still a beta, and all things are subject to change -- including names.

It downloaded really fast here. But anyway, I wonder if the plan is to make the name worse and worse every time. Maybe they're trying to ease the transition to the bland "Mozilla Browser" name? Phoenix, Mozilla FireBird, Mozilla FireFox, Mozilla Browser, I'm seeing a trend here! Hehe.
Anyway, I bet it's for legal reasons.

It'll take some getting used to the new name. I've already found out it doesn't like TBE. :(

I just installed to its default directory, and, lo -- all of my settings and bookmarks remained intact. No worries.

Yes, there's a new icon; it's a fox with a fiery tail, wrapped around a globe. Quite nice, actually.

But God help us all if they change the name of Thunderbird to Thunderfox. :P
