Will Firefox no longer be named Firefox?

[t u]

I may have missed the beginning of the discussion but, did anyone ask
mozilla for permission to use the name + logo (though this would go
against the debian guidelines)? 
thanks

PS. Why not change the name of Firefox to something like UbuntuBrowser
or similar? Making its homepage a local page that explains that although
the name is different, the product is the same -would be nice. Making
epiphany the default browser may be bad in that newcomers would expect
to see at least one thing familiar (which is, for now, firefox) -accross
OS's.
