It would have been neat many years ago, but what is “http://” these days? It is something you notice when you accidentally mistype it and your browser sends you to http.com or says “nyah nyah you typed htp:// and I’m going to pretend that I couldn’t possibly understand what you actually meant to type” or some other such crap. It is a reminder of a brazen, stagnant hostility that we have had to endure for twenty years.

So is it now “Mozilla” “Moz://a” or both? Trying to search for it in Safari’s combined URL/search field just returns an error, of course. A Google search necessarily returns a lot of references to Moz, the SEO company. Besides being ripped out of the '90s, it is a mess.
I guess that’s necessarily true, whatever their actual intent.

It’s Mozilla, with cutesy logo bullshit you can safely ignore. Same as, say, people tend to know Bulgari isn’t really pronounced BVLGARI.

This design was better than other contenders but I’m not a fan at all.
(Studio audience: I work at Mozilla. This change was not without some controversy within Mozilla.)

A better history of the Mozilla name and logo from someone who was there.

As a practical matter, it may end up being both just because so many people are referring to it as “Moz://a” in writing. I don’t imagine that anyone will be referring to it as “moz colon forward-slash forward-slash a,” though. Except smart-arses.

I get your meaning, but I doubt many people in the real world (as in, not us supernerd types) will be arsed to type all that stuff either. Particularly once the rebrand novelty wears off.

I know, but it’s just not the same… only backslash sounds dirty.
Maybe if I nudge it a bit…
moz:\\a
OK, I’ll put it back…

Oops.
