Mozilla Firefox empathizes with frustrated Bears fans
As the Chicago Bears' struggles continue under John Fox, some fans are using the Mozilla Firefox logo to express their desire for a coaching change.
I love the pettiness of Bears fans. This dude’s holding the “Firefox” logo. Firefox...fire John Fox...

After a man was spotted holding up a Firefox sign during Sunday's 31-3 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, Mozilla released a statement sympathizing with Bears supporters (and promoting its newest web browser).
"We empathize with Bears fans who are frustrated with their team," chief marketing officer Jascha Kaykas-Wolff told 670 The Score. "Being unsatisfied with the internal workings of something you care about? We've been there. To release Firefox Quantum, our fastest browser ever, we had to bear down and replace many out-of-date and under-performing components. While it was at times difficult, we managed to soldier on, put more weight on our big shoulders, and as a result shipped an incredible product that sparked a huge increase in interest and downloads.
"We're not here to start any trouble, but unfortunately, the logo used in the stands in Philadelphia was out of date. If any Firefox fans are planning on carrying a Firefox logo to an upcoming sporting event and sitting in a highly visible location in the stadium, please send us a note on Twitter and we’ll do our best to get you on-brand."
