Hi Mozilla-Team,

do you already know, there is a company in germany which names itself "firefox musikverlag"

you can visit it here "http://www.firefox.de/".

If you open that page, the first thing that hits the eye is the firefox logo which they pretend to provide only to link to download the firefox browser from one of your sites, but by this trick the site might appear to visitors as if it is indeed a part of the firefox brand. For example I at first thought: "hey look, now the browser-guys also enter the music-download market".

Kind regards Jott
