First post in this community, thought I’d start with something simple.
I think 2009 is my personal favourite, with 2013 in second.
I actually do really like the current logo, the purple is fun. That original one is wild though.
2017
2019 is best. gradation is beautiful.
I think 2017 hits the right sweetspot. Not too oversimplified (lookin at you, 2019) nor excessively realistic (2009 and before). Firefox and mozilla branding in genera looks fire (no pun intended) imo.

2005 and 2009
The tail in 2009 is my favorite
2005 looks best to me.
2005 and 2009 for the clear detail, and 2017 for the simplification that still clearly conveys the logo.
Besides 2019 (i love simplification) i would have to say 2005, that was my peak on the internet. lots of time spent as a teenager browsing random sites.
2004 and 2013
2005 is my favorite
2005
I miss that semi-clipart style.
Current isn’t the worst case of flat design on the web, but definitely 2005. Sad to see graphic design going backwards in detail.
2004 … best
It looks like with each successive update we’re getting more fire and less fox (and also the globe is shrinking), which seems appropriate given our current environmental dilemma. I’m guessing the next one will just be a charred ball with a vague silhouette of a fox.
As far as design, 2017 is best, bring back the paw!
