This were bound to happend. As far as search engine rating
are concerned FirebirdSQL stands no chance agains a general
purpose application such as Mozilla browser. In other
words, this was to be expected and protests a few months
ago were justified - we have more than enough proofs of
thaat.

Moreover, even if mozilla.org renames their "friebird
browser" today, the damage has been done - to my
understanding of how search engines work, it will take some
time before FirebirdSQL regains its google rating.
