I've been using Firefox since it was called Phoenix, just looked and it has been 20 years.

"Oh hey, a lighter version of Mozilla without the mail stuff"
It really has been forever..
I've been using it since it was Mosaic. Nyah
I used Mosaic also but I didn't know of any lineage between it and Phoenix, Firebird, Firefox. Is it related?

what happened to you
Near fifteen years, bræh.
Wait another fifteen.
Look how they massacred my boy…
For real though, if it bothers you that much, I think it’s possible to change the shortcut icon on your desktop. You would have to download the old Firefox logo as an image on your computer, and then edit the properties of the Firefox shortcut to use the downloaded image of the old icon instead of the regular app icon. This won’t help for the mobile app though.
Mobile app can be changed with viral or some such icon downloader, assuming you're on android.
Depending on your launcher it can be even easier. I use the Firefox logo on Mull (Firefox fork from F-Droid) to make it easier to find
Rip cheems
The last time I was happy was when the chrome icon was still three dimensional
I LOVE LIBREWOLF!!! BUT I AM OPEN TO CHANGE IF ANOTHER NON-CHROMIUM BROWSER SUPERSEEDS IT!!!
It seems like every time Mozilla Firefox changes it's logo my life hits a snag. >_>
I prefer the right, simplified one on my phone. It's quicker to identify and the simple, bolder colors play better. I'd like to see the detailed one on the left on their website or something.

It's aiight
The Firefox devs played The Silent Age and really liked the aesthetic.
