Although it is interesting how they are separating out mozilla into separate apps, and Phoenix (Firbird) will be the main browser. A good move overall I think.

Ah.
I would have thought they'd have checked that before launching the "Phoenix" browser rather than now when it has been available for a while.
I must have been wrong about mozilla being the project name as the browser is also called mozilla. Infact I'm confused with the whole situation regarding Phoenix, Mozilla, etc

Mozilla is a browser and Phoenix/Firebird is a web browser. They both share the same common Gecko! engine. Firebird is a lightweight version similar to Safari on the Mac although recently focus has switched for Mozilla to be like Firebird as people argue that Mozilla has too much "bloat". I'll put money on both Mozilla and Firebird mergin into one soon.
There is also a light mail client that works well with FireBird which is called Thunderbird.
And, yeah, I agree: very stupid names.

Have a look at:
http://texturizer.net/firebird/faq.html#5
for how Mozilla is getting broken up into parts (a good move I think).
