AN IRRELEVANT LICENSE IS PRESENTED TO YOU FREE-OF-CHARGE ON STARTUP

| Mozilla Corp asked that this be added in order for us to continue to call the
| browser Firefox. Since Firefox is their trademark, which we intend to
| respect, we have the choice of working with Mozilla to meet their
| requirements, or switching to an unbranded browser.
|
| It's strongly our preference, and that of most of our users, to have Firefox
| as the browser in Ubuntu.
|
| I think it's perfectly reasonable for Mozilla to have requirements and
| guidelines for the use of their trademark - we have the same for Ubuntu, and
| many other free software projects do the same.
|
| [...]
|
| I believe we have a new package in Intrepid, called abrowser, which uses the
| codebase behind Firefox without invoking the Firefox trade mark.

Personas from Mozilla Labs give Firefox a sleek coat
,----[ Quote ]
| I probably won't use Personas much myself since I greatly prefer the
| unadulterated GTK look in Firefox 3, but the addon is very intriguing from a
| technical standpoint. The way that Personas takes Firefox's Internet
| capabilities and leverages theme to bring dynamic content to the Firefox
| chrome layer is very creative and it reflects a lot of possibilities that I
| had never previously considered.

Shop offers Firefoxers a discount

| He reckons Fireyferret users get, "a better overall experience when browsing

| browser for themselves."
|
| We reckon it's just a publicity stunt, so we've forgotten to mention the name
| of the shop or provide a link.
