  1. This is just a mascot and is not a new logo
  2. The blog referencing Mozilla’s statement on the mascots gender says, (he/she/they/them/it), use whatever pronoun you prefer.

    Mozilla uses “they’re” to refer to Kit, but other than that there’s no explicit statement at all.

    Kit is a companion, not a commentator. They’re not here to deliver punchlines. Kit shows up as a small signal that Firefox is working for you, then steps back so you can keep moving.

      I used “they” etc. when I don’t know the gender of the person I’m talking about. I feel like that’s the safest assumption.

        which is from a notoriously “pro-conservative” twitter account, so safe is highly debatable given that the “conservative” label is often applied to provably false arguments
