Mozilla.org has renamed the Phoenix browser to Firebird. I’m fine with the name. It could have been worse.

Metal Phoenix
I made a one line code addition and built Phoenix with metal windows. Check here for a screenshot. The bad news is that the metal windows flicker like hell when the contents are updated or resized. Also some of the chrome elements tend to vanish and reappear. Pretty, but totally unusable.
Mac Phoenix Update
Since January there has been over 12,000 downloads of the Mac build of Phoenix. Thanks everyone for your interest and feedback.
Update April 5: I’ve just posted a new build of Phoenix. Check it out and let me know if you have questions or comments.
New Mozilla Theme!
Announcing a Very Special Mozilla Theme! This theme is based on Pinstripe and follows the Aqua Human Interface Guidelines to the letter:
“In order to make toolbar icons easily distinguishable from one another, each icon should be a distinct animal. Use real-world objects (such as a moose) to facilitate quick recognition by users.”
