Their blog post was a response to a series of memes decrying the ongoing march towards minimalism, implying that a 2019 re-branding exercise – in which Firefox was turned into a 'parent brand' composed of a 'swoop' design from which the browser icon and others were derived – represented elimination of the fox from the product.

Mozilla's two new firefoxes
Posted by Rakuen Growlithe on Sat 4 Dec 2010 - 11:14The Mozilla Foundation has adopted two baby red pandas, a move intended to highlight the species' threatened status.
The red pandas, or firefoxes, were born at the Knoxville zoo in Tenessee and can be observed 24 hours a day through a dedicated webcam. The cubs also have a Twitter feed. They are currently unnamed, but you can submit name suggestions.
