No, the fox has not disappeared from the Mozilla Firefox logo.
Contrary to what several Internet users have announced in recent days on social networks, the browser has not removed the iconic animal from its visual, reports

However, the logo has changed a lot since the launch of Firefox in 2004. Over the years, Mozilla has gradually refined the illustration of its browser, which has always remained a terrestrial globe around which is wrapped a fox with orange red colors.

The logo put forward by disgruntled internet users on social networks dates from 2019. It is therefore not the new Firefox logo, but a visual used for other browser-related products, such as the Firefox tool. Monitor.
Whether you love or hate minimalist logos (or minimalist logo memes), we just want to make sure everyone is clear: the fox lives on.

Mozilla put things right at the end of February on its blog to calm the spirits.
In honor of the famous little fox, the foundation even put forward the initial logo of the browser, dating from 2004. It is now this one that appears on the Nightly test version of Firefox.
It would also be more relevant to speak of a red panda than a fox in this case.
