Branding

We named this program "Zombie Navigator" because it effectively turns Firefox into an automated "zombie" web browser. "Zombie scripts", which run inside a secure sandbox navigate Firefox!

The icon says "Web Browser" in Arabic. Just that. Maybe too simple. But we do not invest much in visual design.

Firefox is a registered trademark of the Mozilla Foundation. The term "Firefox" in this product, however, may also mean rebranded products derived from the official Firefox.
