- Go to your Firefox program folder. Then, go to a folder that's called Chrome. Copy that folder somewhere else for a backup.

- Within that Chrome folder, there is a JAR file called en-US. If that's the language you are using, extract it. You need to find some software that can extract JARs and repackage them. Examples are EZArc, 7Zip, Winzip, etc. Alternatively, under WinXP, you can rename it to a .zip, make your changes, and change it back to a .jar when you're done.

- Within the en-US that you extracted, go to locale->en-US->global. Within the global folder, open up brand.dtd.

- Then, you should see something like this:

Code:

 <!ENTITY  lang.version          "1.6">
 <!ENTITY  brandShortName        "Mozilla Firefox">
 <!ENTITY  version   "0.8">
 <!ENTITY vendorShortName        "Mozilla Firefox">
 <!ENTITY  releaseURL            "http://www.mozilla.org/projects/firebird/release-notes.html">


You could edit that to something like this:

Code:

 <!ENTITY  lang.version          "1.6">
 <!ENTITY  brandShortName        "Microsoft Internet Explorer">
 <!ENTITY  version   "0.8">
 <!ENTITY vendorShortName        "Microsoft Internet Explorer">
 <!ENTITY  releaseURL           "http://www.mozilla.org/projects/firebird/release-notes.html">


That assumes that you use en-US.

Then, repackage everything back exactly how it was and try to run Firebird.
