[News] Mozilla Firefox in Debian Nymshifts

Boy, am I sick of renaming this thing

| Phoenix, that was a cool name. Damn you PhoenixBIOS. Firebird was good,
| and who needs another database anyway? Mozilla Firefox is a cute name, with
| a cute logo. A logo we can't use. Oh wait, we can't use the name either?
| 
| So the Mozilla Corporation has asked us to stop using the name "Firefox"
| in our version of Firefox, unless we use the fox on a globe logo. We
| can't use the logo because its copyright license is not free. Even if
| somehow we could do this, they want to vet every patch we apply before
| we release a package called Firefox containing it.
