It's OK, but The Book of Mozilla uses the words' meanings.
And it doesn't matter if it is in "old" English and parodies some bibles.
It could make an interesting fantasy fiction... not if written in the 
Christian Bible style (IMHO). Personally I hardly will write it, though. 
And the best of all would be an animated movie. And as a counterpart to 
the vague Book, it could be made in Lojban... <hmm...too big a 
paragraph, sorry for off-topic :)>

"Firefox" originally meant "red panda" - I guess it would be something 
like "{lo cribe} <Latin name for the bear>" ?
And it doesn't matter, too.

The point is to not lose the connection between all the names - 
"Mozilla", "Phoenix", "Firebird", "Firefox", "Thunderbird", "Sunbird", 
whatever they mean.
