Firefox 3.0 :: XP i think i will rename phoenix.exe to xulu.exe right now
![]() I have to agree, Xulu is a great name. As phoeni<b>X</b> ends, so <b>X</b>ulu begins! And if the name did become Xulu, the email client could be named <b>Xen</b> for <b>X</b>ul <b>E</b>mail and <b>N</b>ews!

![]() Oh, that's just what we need. Xulu and Xen, to be confused with Xenu, and then it'll be thought of as the Scientology Browser,.
The future former Phoenix may indeed be the "best of browsers", but unfortunately the name "Bob" has already been used for an absolutely awful Microsoft program a few years ago. It was a suite of integrated apps (not unlike Works) with a thoroughly hideous, dumbed-down interface. It was the Edsel of computer software. Firebird reminds me of a car-model that Bill Gates might have dreamt of in his teens, in all honesty I didn't even know it was an "existing" bird....and I'm afraid that this also counts for many other non-native-English speakers/browser-users.
I did a search in google on the top five names that I had counted earlier ... here are some stats
Sphinx http://www.sphinxsoftware.com/ Firebird http://www.firebird.net/ Fox http://www.fox.ro/ Phox Discovery http://www.discoverysoft.com/ Ion http://www.ionsoftware.co.uk/ Athena http://www.athenavisual.com/default.htm Px http://www.pxsoftware.com/ Dragonfly http://www.dfly.com/ Xulu http://www.xulusoft.com/content.cfm?cont_uid=3 Almost all the names in the top list are existing names of different types of software... I guess we will need a name like they name some of the celestial bodies ![]() Browser No. 4MG.128 which would stand for 4th browser from the Mozilla Gecko 128 bit engine... Linux + Firebird + gtk2 + XFT is neat.
4th?? where did u learn math? no we don't. here's an example why:
the only reason we can't use names is if they are trademarked for a BROWSER sort of software. I notice my personal favourite <b>Dragonfly</b> is part of the name of the company, not the application. There should be no legal point of contention between <b>Dragonfly Software</b> and <b>Dragonfly Internet Browser</b>
