Firefox the Company vs Firefox the Browser
|
Correct me if I am wrong - but I thought Firefox was a browser!

You are, of course,
absolutely correct.
Firefox is the name
of the
web browser produced by
the Mozilla
Foundation. However,
the
Mozilla
Foundation
license
certain
Trade
Mark
rights
because
the
name
'Firefox'
was
already
a Registered
Trade Mark in the
UK. This Trade
Mark was owned by
Firefox
Communications -
founded
in 1990 by one
of the
owners
of
Firefox SMS
Systems
- and is now
owned by its
successor The Charlton
Company. An
agreement exists
between the Mozilla
Foundation and The
Charlton Company
with respect to the
rights and use of
the Trade Mark.
