On: Why is Firefox called Firefox?

[dontdieych]

It was 'firebird 0.1' but there is already firebird thing. So changed name to firefox.

It was Phoenix first, rebranded to Firebird to avoid confusion with umpteen other existing projects with the same name - including a browser. Unfortunately there was also an existing Firebird (database), so they rebranded again to Firefox.

And of course, back then there was also Camino/Chimera as the OSX version

You almost got it. Not quite.
