Logo on the top right has never been used as a logo for the Firefox Browser. It’s used for the Firefox brand of products

Two of these have since been discontinued, one is a Have I Been Pwned reskin. Poor Mozilla, struggling to find alternative revenue sources to cut its Google dependence.

[-] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 17 points 11 months ago

Honestly they should take notes from the Wikimedia Foundation. While they are funded by donations, Wikimedia created a trust that will ensure, without hyperbole, that they never run out of cash

I assume that developing and maintaining a browser with its own HTML/JS/CSS engine is orders of magnitude more expensive than running Wikipedia's servers though. There's a reason why all other browser companies (except Apple) are all building on top of Chrome.

[-] TheLeechiestLeech@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 11 months ago

Idk they could also pay the CEO less money too.

[-] RickyRigatoni@lemmy.ml 7 points 11 months ago

What kind of freedom hating pinko talk is that?

[-] TheLeechiestLeech@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I don't know what she does day to day, but Firefox usage is going down the toilet and the rest of Mozilla seems mismanaged. Maybe decreasing her salary and hiring some more engineers might help. Right now Google seems to be keeping Mozilla alive to prove that they supposedly aren't a monopoly. Now she did join after the user trend was already plummeting, but idk $3+ mil is a lot of money to not turn the ship around.

It would just be nice to have an actual chromium competitor.

Scroll down to the "Transition to overarching identity and simplicity (2018–present)" section under history.

[-] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

On their website. Site header has no fox, browser has a fox.

Here's my creation/guess:

I think "the more global warming accentuates, the bigger the Firefox and the smaller the globe" is the consistent rule. and when it's just an orange circle with 0 fox elements, and no blue left, our time will be up as a species. Just fire will remain.

[-] lugal@sopuli.xyz 7 points 11 months ago

When I say you're over interpreting, I'm not saying you're wrong

[-] Schnitzel_bub@lemmy.ml 2 points 11 months ago
[-] RoyalEngineering@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

I like this logo.

[-] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

The globe used to be caressed by the foxlike flame, now reduced to a mere line. Appropriate, as the world is mostly now on fire.

[-] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 36 points 11 months ago

They should make the next one photo-realistic, just to change things up.

[-] explodicle@local106.com 44 points 11 months ago
[-] sinokon@feddit.de 39 points 11 months ago

I still prefer the foxy look tho

[-] seitanic@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 11 months ago

That's not a firefox! That's a raccoon dog!

[-] Karyoplasma@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 11 months ago

Isn't that a red panda?

[-] MajorMajormajormajor@lemmy.ca 5 points 11 months ago

Nah, same level of detail but change direction of rotation.

[-] ComicalMayhem@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Just flip the image vertically

[-] MajorMajormajormajor@lemmy.ca 4 points 11 months ago

Much better, thanks.

[-] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 29 points 11 months ago

Last one isn’t the browser’s logo. It’s the logo for the branded suite of products. Browser still has a fox.

[-] lud@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

Yeah, it sucked how popular that meme got without people realizing that the logo hadn't changed.

It really showed how few actually use Firefox

The right one is Firefox the company not Firefox the browser

[-] SexualPolytope@lemmy.sdf.org 17 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Unpopular opinion: I like the new Firefox logo. It's clean, but still has the essence of the original logo. Unlike most other simplified logos, this one's actually good. If you wanna hate, go see Dunkin' Donuts' logo.

[-] Holzkohlen@feddit.de 8 points 11 months ago

The top right one isn't real, is it?

[-] accideath@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

Yes and no. It’s a logo by mozilla for sth firefox related but not the actual Firefox logo

[-] jetsetdorito@lemm.ee 6 points 11 months ago

it's real but it's not for Firefox itself, I forget the exact description, like it covers other products that use the Firefox branding

[-] pingveno@lemmy.ml 4 points 11 months ago

It is also important that it resizes well.

[-] jetsetdorito@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

they amputated his paw

[-] DeathWearsANecktie@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

I don't understand the hate for minimalism, I've always liked it.

[-] ayam@lemm.ee 13 points 11 months ago

Imo the fourth logo (from the left) is the best, minimalism done right.

[-] Acters@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Personally, I miss the creative and possibly goofy looking art

I would take the left most(the first one) over all the others, I like to look at it and contemplate the smaller details

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 2 points 11 months ago

Well, then you'll be happy. Because that's the current logo, for the indefinite future (as far as we know).

[-] seitanic@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 11 months ago

I remember when it was Mozilla, and the logo was a dinosaur.

[-] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 16 points 11 months ago

It is still Mozilla, but the logo is a logotype of "moz://a" now.

Mozilla (the foundation) owns Mozilla (the corporation). They jointly manage the development of Firefox (the brand), of which Firefox (the browser) is a part; as well as Firefox (the email anonymizer) and Mozilla (the VPN).

I feel like they might need to come up with some new trademarks.

[-] henfredemars@infosec.pub 9 points 11 months ago

This would make an awesome April fool's joke.

[-] Pantherina@feddit.de 8 points 11 months ago

But softwarewise, what the heck is Firefox Focus?

I just tried it and it has no Addon support thus no adblock, why would anyone use that?

[-] khannie@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago

I'll answer because I use it all the time....

It's the default browser on my phone so all link clicks in apps (like the one I'm using now) get a fresh, zero cookie session which reduces tracking. I read or watch, hit back, session and cookies destroyed, off I go on my merry way.

If I want to open a link on a site that I want to be logged in on then I long press and open it in normal Firefox.

I do have ad blockers on my router too though.

[-] n0clue@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

You can just set a shortcut for private browsing and set a flag in nightly to always be private.

[-] radioactiveradio@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

To focus on the ads

[-] AgentOrangesicle@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

What's the next geometric shape for icons, though? Everyone made square icons before they evolved into circles. I think hexagons are the future.

[-] stoy@lemmy.zip 3 points 11 months ago

The 2009 logo was the best

[-] boiledfrog@hexbear.net 2 points 11 months ago

First on was the nicest, it's okay now but I don't like the flat icon trend
