Maybe it's just me, but I think the name "Firefox" is fun and endearing, while "Mozilla" is ugly and ponderous. I say this as someone that has been on the Web since Mosaic and almost entirely used Netscape-heritage browsers since then. Let the Mozilla name go, and embrace Firefox.

To me, Godzilla sounds way more interesting than a mere fox.

  Firefox sounds fast and nimble. Mozilla reminds me of a large, slow, bumbling monster that destroys all it steps on.

    In a way it is a large, slow, bumbling monster that destroys all it steps on, except it only steps on donations and good will toward firefox.

I thought that was their strategy in recent years also, so center around the Firefox brand. So this is the opposite direction

For me they are pretty much synonymous. If I hear “mozilla” I imagine the firefox logo. strange that they are moving away from their flagship product

  When I hear "mozilla" I remember the event I went to where apparently some board members decided to come after all and the employees / contractors were panicking to make sure everything was perfectly presentable. The food catering, the cleanliness... to me, the word mozilla reminds me of the ueeless board members.
