The separation of "Firefox" (brand, UI, browser history, password sync, extensions, etc) from "Gecko" (an implementation of a rendering engine) seems like a good idea to me, even if it was forced by Apple.<p>Gecko stands for nothing; it's just code. Whereas the Mozilla / Firefox brand stands for things like privacy, security, etc. (<a href="https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/manifesto/" rel="nofollow">https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/manifesto/</a>)<p>The Firefox/Mozilla brand shouldn't be tied to Gecko or any other specific piece of code.
