This UI for indicating the user’s weave account (and allowing for fast user switching) makes a strong association between the user’s name and the Firefox brand. It’s perhaps a little Max Berry’s “Jennifer Government.” However, people are pretty passionate about Firefox, so displaying Jane Firefox or Bob Firefox becomes a more emotional and personalized way of presenting the brand. This is especially true if the application is customized, in which case it really is my firefox.
This is ending up in my Firefox 4.0 mockup mashup!
