Instead of relying on feelings, why don't you read
http://www.mozilla.org and http://www.mozillazine.org and notice the
"Who we are" links, and so on? These are two different sites run by
different groups. What's more, anyone signed up at mozillazine can
post to the mozillazine forums. If some such poster put a [TM] after
Firebird to get your goat, it means nothing.

Should I judge the firebirdsql.org by the worst behavior seen on the
firebird-general list? Of course not. Please do likewise with
mozilla.org and mozillazine.org.
