I don’t understand why companies think that they can get away with doing this. The internet is a surprisingly small place, and we were notified almost immediately. We’ve all had a good chuckle about this, but we’ve contacted Mozilla and demanded that they take the design down.
Really does seem bizarre that anyone thought this wouldn’t be noticed.
Update: Mozilla apologizes, and is “actively investigating how this happened to ensure that it does not happen again.”
