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)

Title Change Request

"Firefox" is used for multiple things. So, I propose that the title of this article be changed to "Firefox Browser" to avoid confusion.

• I agree. This also matches Mozilla's branding guidelines which make a distinction between Firefox and Firefox Browser. – Anne drew 15:48, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
• Oppose: "Firefox Browser" is not a common name; the proper full name would be "Mozilla Firefox". But everyone just calls it "Firefox". —Dexxor (talk) 05:43, 29 October 2021 (UTC)
• I'd prefer "Mozilla Firefox", as that seems more conventional and is used in the window title. The "Firefox Browser" suggestion is reminiscent of "Focus car" rather than "Ford Focus", and seems unnecessary as it is a household name. Just my 2¢. Lapisgaming (talk) 09:24, 29 October 2021 (UTC)
• Oppose. While it's true that multiple subjects are named Firefox, the most popular usage so far this millennium is for the Firefox browser. It is best to simply keep the title to Firefox, as that's the most common name, not Firefox Browser. Further, the domain Firefox.com points directly to the browser. On that website, the Firefox Browser text has Firefox in bold, highlighting the common name; "Firefox for Desktop" also appears. As for Mozilla Firefox, that was the common full name in the past, but its official use is reduced today. Other products (Firefox Monitor, Firefox Relay, Firefox Focus, etc.) and usage (novel, film, etc.) are less popular and less notable, so they can go on Misplaced Pages's disamb page. --LABcrabs (talk) 15:32, 29 October 2021 (UTC)

Info-Box Photo

The photo in info-box shows a screenshot of firefox at wikipedia website. It should be more informative and topic focused if we use the screenshot of firefox homepage instead. 2409:4050:E9C:BF88:0:0:4ACA:C014 (talk) 02:04, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
