Firefox trademark #2
Not sure where to post this so I posted it both here and m.general. I thought that Firefox was trademarked by Mozilla. If so why does Phoronix have a program called Firefox? https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-benchmark-your-linux-system "Compile Firefox Firefox is a beast of a program. It's absolutely massive, and it takes a lot of time and system resources to compile. If you really want to test your system, especially your CPU to the max, try compiling Firefox. $ phoronix-test-suite install compile-firefox $ phoronix-test-suite run compile-firefox" -- Caver1

They have a test suite which, as one of its tests, compiles the freely-avaiable Firefox source code into an executable and documents how it loads the system under test. You can, yourself, download the FireFox source code, modify it as you wish, and then compile it on your own system but that does not mean that you "own" then name FireFox.

I don't have an answer for you about why they are encouraging people to
compile FF when it has already been compiled for various platforms.
However, if you want any legal answers or want to report misuse of
Firefox trademarks etc then please go to this page:
<https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/legal/fraud-report/>
This is not the place <m.s.firefox> to discuss. General is fine as far
as I can see.
Good luck.

Firefox is a beast of a program. It's absolutely massive, and it
takes a lot of time and system resources to compile. If you really
want to test your system, especially your CPU to the max, try
compiling Firefox.

<br>
$ phoronix-test-suite install compile-firefox
