Why is Firefox 2 called Bon Echo instead of Firefox?
Becaus pkgsrc makes modifications to firefox to enable it to build and
work correctly, and the Mozilla Foundation has non-Free trademark rules:

You can put
PKG_OPTIONS.gecko= official-mozilla-branding
in mk.conf and build your own packages, which Mozilla says that you
can't distribute. See /usr/pkgsrc/www/seamonkey/options.mk for how this
gets set.
