I fear that on www.heise.de/newsticker - a very popular german speaking news
site - Firebird by now stands for Mozilla Firebird. In a recent story with
the title "New versions of Mozilla, Firebird and Thunderbird" the heise team
linked the word Firebird to http://www.mozilla.org/products/firebird/ . Note
that the heise team never used the combination of "Mozilla Firebird", but
the word "Firebird" alone. Of course the Firebird DBMS is not mentioned once
in that story...

So I guess if the Firebird community let things go the way they are
currently going, every John Doe will think of a browser when he hears the
word "Firebird" in a few months.
