This "Firefox logo" image was captured by the Hubble Space Telescope in March 2004. It's actually the variable star V838 Monocerotis near our Milky Way Galaxy. I personally think it's actually a sign from Heaven for everyone to stop using Internet Explorer.

Actually the Firefox name is a trademark of Mozilla corporation and the logo is non-free. In order to use the Firefox name, you have to use the logo. Debian was using the name, but not the logo, because the logo was non-free. Mozilla did not agree to it and Debian changed its version name to iceweasel.
