You are right. The Wikipedia entry for Firefox at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefox#Branding_and_visual_identity
reports this too!

But then the Help->About window for Firefox on Ubuntu says:

'Firefox and the Firefox logos are trademarks of Mozilla foundation' but
if Ubuntu are not using the official logos, surely they don't need to
say this? Or am I just getting too fussy about this?

Regards,
Tony.
