Mozilla is rebranding Firefox. The company is asking for feedback on the new look, which will try to cover the various Firefox offerings. For most people, Firefox refers to a browser, but the company wants the brand to encompass all the various apps and services that the Firefox family of internet products cover, “from easy screenshotting and file sharing to innovative ways to access the internet using voice and virtual reality.” The fox with a flaming tail “doesn’t offer enough design tools to represent this entire product family,” Mozilla believes. Instead of recoloring the logo and dissecting the fox, the company wants to start from scratch. That said, the name “Firefox” is staying, so Mozilla doesn’t have that much wiggle room.

    Mozilla has fucked up a lot, but i sense your anger is coming from somewhere else. Firefox is still one of the better more free brpwsers even with thei collosal fuckups. I prefer the FF forks myself.

    When you see a website that really POPS, it's because of VERY SPECIAL cyber called Javascript. Mozilla, very lucky company. Because they hired the guy that invented Javascript. Brendan, otherwise known as the Einstein of modern cyber. Then they did something foolish, they fired him because he wasn't gay. Which is OK in High Tax, High Crime California. It's not OK. But they got away with it!!!

    "I prefer the FF forks myself"

    Exactly, me too. FF itself is no longer relevant. Thanks for reinfocing my point, but perhaps you could take a tone that is less ad hominem next time you inadvertantly agree with me.
