I remember as a kid being terrified of Netscape because of the ship's wheel icon. At the time I had a huge fear of the sea and seeing that nautical imagery made me feel sick.

I'd always choose Internet Explorer because of this. I'm really glad that Netscape rebranded to Mozilla Firefox. Much warmer and more inviting, less implied threat of drowning.

I wonder if there was another kid out there somewhere who was scared of wild animals (including cute ones) and who became more reluctant to use Firefox as a result of the rebranding.

Or giant ringed ‘e’ planets. You gotta watch out for those. They’ll embrace you then extend you then extinguish you.
