Origin of the Firefox logo

Hello, I'm a fan of Firefox, and it is not a problem as such, so apologies if I lose all the time!

I'm a designer, so I couldn't help but notice the similarity between the logo of Firefox and the moon. I ran over a picture of the Moon horizontally and as far as I'm concerned they have an almost perfect match, the clear area to the Southeast (bottom and right time reverse side) is very similar in form to the Fox, the dark Lunar mara defining its contour.

Only problem is my friends think I'm crazy to think they look like! Can you please confirm if the Moon was indeed an influence on your logo?

Please answer, a pint of beer may be at stake.

Kind regards

This link http://www.hicksdesign.co.uk/journal/branding-firefox referred to in article explains some of the early history when a new icon was needed when the name changed again to Firebird to Firefox to version 0.8 (Yes the browser people has existed for two years before 1.0 as it was not released in version 1.0 as some say it).

Personally, I'm bored kind of big red flaming bird Phoenix 0.1 to 0.5 as icon for Firebird 0.6, 0.7 0.6.1 was a ball of fire.

    How to get the video intro off my google home screen I already saw it, where is the firefox logo used to be. I started with the last update that I rebooted.

    Hello
    to change the homepage when opening firefox-press 'Alt' and click on tools-> Options.

    Main menu, you can change the URL.

    If the problem persists, you can follow these simple steps:

    Enter about: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Accept the message of 'dragons' to see the Advanced preferences screen. Use the above search box to enter the below pref.

    You can assign an empty string to stop your Firefox to retrieve "extracts" and brandLogo changes the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref. Right-click this pref and select Edit then clear the value as pref in the box that appears, and then click OK. Who will also disable "snippets" that appear under the container of the research on the default home page.

    Then you must open the folder of your profile, via help > Troubleshooting Information > profile folder > > button view folder. Then close Firefox. Your profile file open with Firefox closed (Firefox '3-bar' menu key > exit/Quit), wait or two minutes, then remove the storage\moz-safe-about + home folder in the Firefox profile folder to remove the brandLogo and stored in IndexedDB code snippets to make Firefox use the default brandLogo and a defined default code snippet.

    If you later change your mind about these changes, you can reset the pref browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl via the context menu and Reset allows to retrieve the default value using the storage\moz-chest-fort-about + home folder again.

  • Got a recurring pop-up with the firefox logo, pop ups disabled window. some kind of malicious program

To appear a lot tho and really become a problem.
    Help, please.

    Sometimes a problem with Firefox can be a result of malware installed on your computer, you may not be aware of. I realized that malwarebytes is on the list, but try others. If push comes to shove, you may be forced to be:
    At littera Do this first) UNINSTALL FIREFOX WARNING: THIS WILL REMOVE ALL OF YOUR FIREFOX INFORMATION! IT CAN BE HIDDEN IN YOUR FIREFOX DATA TROJAN HORSE AS SOME VIRUSES TARGET SPECIFIC BROWSERS!

    (B) remove your computer to a specialist. They will know what to do, because this seems to be a malware problem, not a problem of Firefox.

    You can try these free programs to search for malicious software that work with your existing anti-virus software:

    Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP, if you do not already have one.

  • I want to open a new tab, but keep the cursor in the adressbar. Right not every time I open a new tab, I come to a page with google search and the firefox logo.

    Everytime I open a new tab, I'm greeted by this page

    http://blog.Mozilla.org/UX/files/2012/05/Firefox-beta-13-redesigned-About_Home-Page1.PNG?128c42

    Is a small problem for me, because when I want the cursor at the beginning in the adressbar. So, if for example, I opened a new page, I type in imdb.com I receive directly on imdb.

    Today, however, with the Home tab firefox screen. I have to do a google search for imdb.

    A small problem perhaps, but enough to be annoying.

    Is there a way to move the settings or something similar, and keep the cursor in the address bar after you open a new tab?

    Hello

    If you only want the new tabs do not have home page, you can change it by going in your Subject: config page and replacing "browser.newtab.url" Subject: vacuum. For me at least, if I open a new tab on a white page, the cursor remains the address bar.

    In order to change your Firefox Configuration please follow the following steps:

    1. In the address bar, type Subject: config

    and press enter. The subject: config "this might void your warranty!" warning page may appear.

    1. Click on I'll be careful, I promise! to keep the comments: config page.

    If you also want to change your home page to a blank page, you can do so in virtue:

    • (on Windows) Tools > Options > general, or
    • Menu

      > Options (preferences on Mac and Linux) > general

    Then change the dropdown to "when Firefox starts:"so that it is set to 'Show a blank page'.»

    Note that you can continue to do research on the awesome bar and search bar where you want to do a Google search.

    Does this solve the problem? Let us know.

  • Restore the old logo of firefox in the start page for firefox & lose crazy tail Fox logo

    Within the last few days my regular firefox logo appearing on the firefox start page has changed on my desktop (windows xp) and two laptops (windows 8 and windows 8.1). All changed logos at the same time. The normal logo (globe portfolio blue orange fox) is now an orange Fox (globe portfolio) with a tail of control crazy that encircles wildly around the world a couple of times. Is not cute & compact but instead takes a lot of space and really bothers me. Firefox has been one of the rare browsers that I have the right to make the automatic updates, but I'm going to change these settings, since I had so much trouble trying to change the rear logo. My history of update watch 32.0.3 update has been installed on 24-09-14 & put update 32.0.2 installed 30-10-14, which seems odd to me since 32.0.3 would seem to come after 32.0.2. (There is no cartoon character saying "click me" nor is there excerpts, and I don't want to block the ordinary brand logo, I just want to get rid of this crazy tail logo).

    I appreciate your help on this as this crazy tail logo is driving me crazy!  Thank you very much.
    

    The change of the logo on the default home page is temporary for various promotional campaigns that Mozilla is run. Unfortunately, it seems to be the 'new normal' now. When he started last spring, it was like once every two months for a week or two, but now it looks like a 'week', then in another week or two another promo starts.

    Follow cor - el's guidelines to lock the "excerpt" from being downloaded, then clear the current "SnippetsMap" via the Web Console.

    Or, just set your own choices for your home page.
