Will Firefox no longer be named Firefox?

"Bon Echo" is Mozilla's internal code for a new software version that
is being developed. Just like "Longhorn", if you will pardon the
reference) It should be Firefox Bon Echo, just like W* Longhorn.
Besides, I think:
https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/9318
is also relevant. We have Mozilla developers on that bug who say they
have no objections to the Firefox icon being used. If so, then why
should the Firefox name not be used?
If the Firefox name is not used, it will be a terrible confusion,
IMHO. New users coming to Ubuntu will look for "Firefox", not see it,
and say "yuck - what a stupid distro that doesn't even have Firefox"
and go away. (OK that's a bit exaggerated, but you get the idea.)
