The Firefox brand is a group of products and services by Mozilla, largely centered around the Firefox web browser. As of September 2019, the brand includes the browser itself, Lockwise, Monitor, and Send. Additionally, the podcast, IRL – Online Life Is Real Life, is provided by Mozilla and uses the Firefox brand.

The Firefox brand itself has been in use since 2004;[1] however, it has historically been used largely by the browser itself. In June 2019, Mozilla announced that Firefox would become a brand of privacy-focused software and services.[2][3]
