Answer: Mozilla

After the company Phoenix Technologies, creator of computer BIOS software, claimed that Mozilla encroached on their trademark, Mozilla renamed the project Firebird.

Pat Phoenix married Antony Booth, the father of Cherie Booth, who is Tony Blair's wife.

Cochrane was the first human to achieve warp drive, and the future of humans in deep space rested on making sure this event happened.
