Nope, no confusion whatsoever. The original guy's quote missed out part of my second sentence:
"Firebird wants to bring control back to the user, AND NOT THE WEBSITE DEVELOPER."
I'm sure we'd all agree about that. The first sentence is correct too; Mozilla explicitly stated on their site (at least the old one) that Mozilla was just technology - apps like Netscape and Beonex were meant to deliver 'end-user' products.
Or maybe I'm confused by your confusion now :)
Whatever the case, I'm advocating Firebird so let's all be happy!
