Firefox Trademark Troubles

Seems that someone in Mozilla made a big "oops" with Firefox trademark.

From the article:
Although it maintains a policy -- which was recently criticised by many developers of the Debian Linux distribution -- on how its trademarks are used, it does not appear to have registered the Firefox name in Germany and Australia. In the United States and United Kingdom, the foundation has applied for the trademarks but approval is still pending.

First "m/b", then "Phoenix", then "FireBird", and now "Firefox". Whats next if they decide to change again?

There are some lively discussion regrading this on slashdot.
