Who else thought this must be old news or a dupe after reading the title! I think they should change their version number to avoid confusion... Firebird v2.3-notawebrowser.

Come on editors... They changed the name to Firefox how long ago? Not only that, but 2.0 was released like 3 weeks ago. I could of sworn I saw an article on slashdot even... Way to read your own site.

Oh, with... this is a database? Hmmm... they should probably change their name so that people won't get confused all the time.

Firefox, Thunderbird, Firebird... I'm confused

I think it's a song by Lynyrd Skynyrd.

That's because trademarks apply only to the business areas they are registered for. For example, the manufacturer of shiny computers can use the same name as the record label that released the Beatles' records, since they aren't in the same business. (Until ITMS, that is.)

Firebird-the-database is a DBMS, which, as everyone knows, is a big piece of metal that doesn't move and holds important data. Firefox-the-browser is a vehicle for travelling through the intartubes. It's obvious that the former is almost (but not quite) entirely unlike a car, whereas you probably would need a drivers' licence to use the latter, if it weren't for the lawlessness of teh intartubewebs.
