That's not the point, is it? There's no browser named "Firebird" like
there's
no browser named "Explorer" or a database engine named SQL Server (or
at least, there were two some time ago).

The product name is "Mozilla Firebird" - plain and simple. He should call
it that way and not giving it the name of our well established open source
database engine product: Firebird.
