File:Firefox Logo, 2019.png and others

Mozilla is undergoing a transition to these logos, it seems. Maybe someone can put something in about that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Seemplez (talk • contribs) 11:09, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

This logo is for the Firefox brand (which now encompasses multiple properties). Firefox Browser (née Mozilla Firefox) still uses the existing logo but with an art style patterned upon it. ViperSnake151 Talk 23:55, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

Should we specify that OS X 10.9-10.11 is supported with ESR releases?

In the infobox and system requirements table, I've noted that OS X 10.9-10.11 are supported by the ESR channel, but 10.12 is needed for the standard release. However, this goes against the precedent of the last time this happened, when OS X 10.6-10.8 were dropped in 2016. Should I leave it the way I edited it until 2021, or just immediately bump the requirements to macOS 10.12?Herbfur (talk) 15:35, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

Logo Controversy

Due to the high amount of memes of the Firefox logo being oversimplified, and a bunch of media coverage on it, should we start adding a controversy section regarding the logo? — Preceding unsigned comment added by The great Jay (talk • contribs) 04:06, 8 March 2021 (UTC)

I don't see why this should be classified as a controversy. Some very vocal handful of individuals have been mass-spreading nonsense posts (FUD) about the logo on social media and sites such as Reddit, nothing more. Rctgamer3 (talk) 18:14, 8 March 2021 (UTC)

Seems like WP:NOTNEWS to me. IT does not seem that the "new logo" is actually used anywhere. Walter Görlitz (talk) 22:32, 8 March 2021 (UTC)

More Updates

On a Motorola Moto G5 Plus (ARM Cortex-A53), which apparently won't get updates beyond Android 8.1.0, Firefox Beta reports it's on version 92.0.0-beta.8

Sorry, I can't begin to figure out how to update the chart. Thanks Nei1 (talk) 16:13, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
