Firefox usage grew to a peak of 32% at the end of 2009, temporarily making version 3.5 the world's most popular browser. Usage then declined in competition with Google Chrome. As of January 2016, Firefox has between 9% and 16% of worldwide usage as a "desktop" browser, making it the second most popular web browser. Firefox is still the most popular desktop browser in Cuba (even most popular overall), Eritrea, and Germany, with 85.93%, 79.39%, and 37.01% of the market share, respectively. It is also the most popular desktop browser in many other African countries. According to Mozilla, as of December 2014, there were half a billion Firefox users around the world.

Answer 2What we call Firefox was released in September 2002 under the name Phoenix.

Because of trademark issues with BIOS manufacturer Phoenix Technologies it was changed to Firebird in April 2003.

Many peole did not like Firebird, and there already was a Firebird Database Server so on February 9, 2004 they changed it again to Mozilla Firefox. This time they made sure no one else was using it.
