When is Firefox not a Firefox?
The answer is on Debian. The OS isn't happy with Mozilla's recent hardened stance on their trademark, and doesn't even want to use the Mozilla logos in their distributions. Debian plans to change the name of Firefox in their distros and think it will only take a week to complete. Mozilla doesn't want Firefox to be marketed inside Debian without the logo. It seems that the Debian folks don't like the idea of patches and updates going through Mozilla first. Red Hat and Novell are already doing it. So if you Linux buddies told you to jump off a cliff, would you do it? Well, Debian wouldn't, or so it looks right now. I'm taking bets on names, how about Fiber-fox, or Firbuntu? No? Fine, I give up. Any other clever names for what to actually call Firefox in its altered form from brilliant minds out there?[Via Slashdot]

How about calling it by it's code name? Like ppc optimized builds of firefox 1.5 are called Deer Park.
