Real talk, where my red pandas at?

One of my favorite things about Firefox as a browser was the support for red pandas, aka "firefoxes". In the 2010 update, you guys even hosted Firefox Live where people could donate to help the Knoxville Zoo. Now you change it to the most generic, boring mascot imaginable, yet another fox. What the heck? Is it meant to symbolize how Firefox is losing it's unique nature and becoming more generic? Bring back the real firefoxes!
