To better distinguish the browser, Mozilla had to add something to the Firefox name browser is the obvious choice and Mozilla decided to select it for the name. Mozilla launched plenty including Firefox Monitor, Firefox Send or Firefox Lockwise in recent years and plans to launch even more, e.g. Plain Firefox would not make much sense anymore either because of other projects that carry the Firefox brand. Why Firefox Browser and not Firefox Quantum or just Firefox? It was clear from the get-go that Firefox Quantum was just a temporary name to highlight the major changes in the new versions of the browser. Mozilla selected a new logo for the Firefox browser and that new logo will be shown on the about page, on Mozilla's website, and other places. Firefox users may notice that the logo changed as well.
Nightly or Developer.įirefox Nightly displays the new name of the browser already on the about page. The stable version will just display Firefox Browser whereas development versions will add the channel name underneath it, e.g. Starting with Firefox 70, another name is displayed when users open the About page. The name Quantum was selected because it was an effort to push new technologies in the browser to improve all aspects of Firefox and reverse the downwards trend user-wise.įirefox users who open the About page of the web browser right now will notice that Firefox Quantum is still used as the name of the browser. The release of Firefox 57 brought another change to the name better, an addendum to the name as Mozilla called the browser Firefox Quantum with that release.
