The standalone Mozilla Firebird browser has been renamed to Firefox
and received an upgrade to version 0.8. This latest release features a
new download manager, bookmarks enhancements, better support for
extensions and several thousand other improvements. Windows users can
benefit from a new installer, while Mac OS X users will enjoy the new
Aqua-style theme, Kevin Gerich and Stephen Horlander's Pinstripe...
Firefox is the browser's third name. The last name, Firebird, drew strong objections from the Firebird database community
when it was announced in April. The database community's supporters and
commercial backers waged a high-profile campaign against mozilla.org
and affiliated parties until mozilla.org announced that Firebird would
only be used as a codename. The new Firefox moniker is intended to be
used as a permanent product name and a strong brand identity will be
built around it. The new name was chosen after extensive international
trademark searches and consultations with lawyers. The process of registering Firefox as a trademark with the United States Patent and Trademark Office began in December last year.Firefox 0.8 can be downloaded from the Firefox product page or direct from the Firefox 0.8 directory on ftp.mozilla.org.
