This is actually quite misleading. The name "Firefox" simply did not exist at this point. The team made a lot of bad name choices and were threatened with legal action over the Phoenix name by another browser vendor, and shamed in to not using Firebird because it was already being used by a RDBMS system and caused a lot of confusion. Initially they refused to change the name and it would still be Firebird had they not changed that position.
