The Mozilla Firebird browser is a web browser and a spin-off project from Mozilla. The project aims to develop software that is smaller and faster than Mozilla while still being cross-platform.

Mozilla Firebird is written using the XUL user interface language. In contrast to Mozilla Firebird, Galeon, K-Meleon, and Camino use interfaces native to their respective platforms.

Mozilla Firebird was known as "Phoenix" until April 14, 2003, when a name change was made. The browser was renamed because of trademark issues with Phoenix Technologies, a BIOS manufacturer.

Reaction to the new name has been mixed. Users and developers of the Firebird database server have claimed that the Mozilla Firebird web browser would cause confusion among users.
