Edit: this post is literally not true Mozilla didn’t say any of this it’s just a hoax.
So they just laid off a bunch of developers from lack of funding but they have budget for this? When the fucking logo didn’t have a gender to begin with because it’s a fucking logo? Did their AI tell them this was a good idea.
the old logo still exists. this is a new mascot intended to increase user connection to the browser by providing a friendly anthropomorphised front for actions taken by the firefox team, browser, and congratulating users on taking actions. in furtherance of this idea, kit is represented by ambiguous pronouns when written about in order to avoid unnecessary gendering, and allow the user to imply their own gender as they like
