This might change in the future when the development of the suite is abandoned, unless the community supports its maintenance. The suite that everyone has known until know will keep the Mozilla name. So Phoenix will/has become the Mozilla Firebird browser and the email app that was know as Minotaur is now the Mozilla Thunderbird email client. Moving forward, the Mozilla Project will give names to its subprojects. It already has recognition and no legal problems that are known of. Just like the Apache Project, the Mozilla Project does not plan to get rid in any way of the Mozilla name while splitting the main app into smaller apps. Mozilla Project had to change the name of the Phoenix browser. Phoenix, the BIOS company, also had a browser. The original name given to the single browser app, Phoenix, had problems. And so a need to differenciate between these two browsers exists. The other one (Mozilla - the suite) might not necesarilly be abandoned. The Mozilla Project has made a change on their roadmap that will take them to keep two browsers for some time. Parent article: Will the real Firebird please stand up?
