Hi , Is there a relation between Mozilla Firefox and Ubuntu or all of Linux? The default Ubuntu browser is Firefox, and its coloring is like the Mozilla Firefox coloring. Is Ubuntu made by or related to Mozilla?

Hi Shayan

No, there is no connection between Canonical and Mozilla other than Canonical have the same view as many others that Firefox is a great web browser.

Note that Ubuntu has a Firefox version in its repositories that is modified and can behave differently than Firefox from the Mozilla server. You can see that by an update channel listed on about:support that is not "release".
