Things like this should always be considered when deciding a brand name for your business. Who knows, if Firefox didn't have such an effective brand name, maybe they wouldn't be where they are today.

Godzilla breaths a stream of fire, thence Firebird, perchaps? Or, Firebird was going to be like the Phoenix, rising from the ashes of Netscape Navigator. But some other product was already named Firebird, so they changed it to Firefox. I have no idea where the fox came from. (There is a general bird theme among the Mozilla products -- Thunderbird (mail), Sunbird (calendar)).

The protagonist has to catch it in order to obtain celestial power. The students of folklore consider it a version of the Phoenix bird that restores itself from the ashes.

Being from the Bronx (even when you go to college in Dayton, Ohio and Pittsburgh, you're still "from the Bronx"), I never read them, but always heard others talking about them.
