And that's been my experience, too.
I think the image we should immediately remove is the ship's wheel which is widely
known as Netscape Navigator logo. At the moment the old NS navigator logo is used in
both classic and modern skin. IMO we should find a different and better logo for our
browser and probably a new name, too.

This is my suggestion to solve the matter (and makes everyone happy :-) :
let's use the green lizard as logo for Mozilla-the-software-package and the orange
dino as logo for Mozilla-the-organization.
At the moment the word "mozilla" have different meanings: an organization, a
software, an architecture.
IMHO, using different logo's could make things clear.
