Currently Firebird on Windows and Linux is using Arvid's Q bird, Mac is using a
generic mac spinner. We need a new, XP animation that links to our brand (app
icon).

there's no need to block 0.8 for this, but I expect to see it before 1.0

Reopening based on bug 212779 resolution.
From bug 212779 comment 79:
"The tradition of the branded throbber is what
people expect, so people are going to assume that the dot-ring is now the new
representation of the product, or be confused, just as they were with the Q.  I
also have a feeling that ring might be trademarked by somebody, so its best to
keep it safe and use something already associated with Mozilla."
"In fact, to keep the
Mozilla-as-a-platform-or-suite mindset, it would probably be better for all of
the official Mozilla products to use the same throbber, but one that identifies
it as a Mozilla product, just as IE/Outlook are identified as a Windows
platform/product."
Status: RESOLVED → REOPENED
Resolution: DUPLICATE → ---
The decision for the throbber has been made. See teh duped bug. Whining doesn't
help.

Excuse me, I haven't yet heard from Ben.
if you want to argue this from a branding perspective, rather than reopening
dupes for the wrong reasons, you'd be best advised to bring it forward through
the marketing/branding group.

This "dupe" was filed for a branding reason. quote: "We need a new, XP animation
that links to our brand (app icon)." - this from someone who was involved with
the Firefox branding change.

CC'ing branding/marketing people for resolution.
