Firebird
Firebird can refer to several different concepts across various fields, including mythology, music, technology, and more. Below are detailed descriptions of the most notable uses of the term "Firebird."
Mythology
In Slavic folklore, the Firebird is a magical glowing bird from a faraway land, which is both a blessing and a harbinger of doom to its captor. The Firebird is often the object of a difficult quest in stories, symbolizing a treasure that is hard to obtain.
Music
Classical Music
The Firebird is a ballet and orchestral concert work by the Russian composer Igor Stravinsky. It was written for the 1910 Paris season of Sergei Diaghilev's Ballets Russes company. The ballet centers around the magical Firebird, a creature from Russian folklore.
Bands and Albums
Firebird is also the name of a British blues-rock band formed by Bill Steer in 1999. The band has released several albums, including their self-titled debut album Firebird.
Technology

Web Browser
Mozilla Firebird was the original name of the web browser now known as Mozilla Firefox. The name was changed to avoid confusion with the Firebird database project.
