A spate of discord between the makers of the Debian Linux distro and the mavens behind Mozilla Firefox mean that Debian’s version of Firefox needs a new name, apparently. This has led to heated discussion, ranging from subtle changes (Freefox) through lateral thinking (WaterWolf) to the reanimation of old veiled insults (IceWeasel) to surreal long-windedness (We Could Tell You What This Browser Is Called, But Then They'd Have To Sue Us) and all the way on down to the bottom of the barrel and Sneak’s personal fave. Yes, it should definitely be called FrigidBeaver.
