I really dislike this fake political correctness." Real continents or STFU. :-) I agree with whoever said: “The fact that FF is localized to 70+ languages doesn’t really justify depicting an alien planet instead of being distinctively Earth.

Still looks quite contemporary though. The fire effect is awesome however the globe isn’t as blue as in the previous and the overall colour scheme isn’t as rich.

Is it Earth (from left to right: North America, Atlantic Ocean, Western Europe)? Could someone provide graphic without fox, just globe?

Could someone provide graphic without fox, just globe?

The fox is the same for too long years and needs a new design. Why you don’t really redesign the Firefox icon : I think that simply making the earth glossy is not a real change.

A logo shouldn't have too much detail to me. I prefer the simplistic look it has now and the pointy flames, not the curly ones like on the new design. I prefer the current design.

Thanks for posting this Alex. Burka set the tone for a great icon and the evolution of the icon has been nothing short of gorgeous. With so many talented folks in the icon's past and future, Shiretoko will no doubt have an amazing chassis (I love this metaphor—totally crystallizes what you're trying to do). Best of luck!
