Seems like they're missing the forest for the trees. The Firefox logo could use a re-branding to be more recognizable, not have an animal showing you its back, and also to overcome negative bias in Asia (Foxes are considered Tricky - not clever).

- viraptor 17y agoFoxes are animal equivalents to robbers or tricksters in almost every children story I know (in Europe)... I'm not sure, why did you mentioned Asia specifically? Every single symbol will have a negative bias for someone... but I doubt some person would skip firefox just because of the icon :/
- zimbabwe 17y agoPerhaps not skip - but it's an abstract and complex image whose only connection to the Internet is with the old concept of the "worldwide web" - emphasis more on world than web. Compare that to Internet Explorer or Opera, who at least provide a memorable initial. Or Safari, whose symbol of a compass indicates travel in a more direct manner than Firefox's logo. (Chrome's logo is similarly strange - comes across as a Pokeball to me.)
