Why the renaming?
Over the years, Firefox accounts expanded its role beyond being solely an authentication solution for Firefox Sync. It now serves as Mozilla's main authentication and account management service for a wide range of products and services, supporting millions of active account customers globally. As such, the original "Firefox" branding no longer accurately reflects the broad scope of Mozilla's offerings. The renaming is intended to create a more consistent brand experience across all Mozilla surfaces, driving higher awareness of the portfolio of Mozilla products.

A new account isn't needed and sign-in remains the same. Additional information is available in the referenced support document.

 

Update: To get the update now, select "Help" from the Firefox menu, then pick "About Firefox." Mac users need to select "About Firefox" from the Firefox menu. If you do not use the English language version, Fully Localized Versions are available for download.

Hmm... lots of carp being fixed in that upgrade. Guess I'll have to go take care of that right now.

[V.T. Eric Layton]

No. I run the bleeding edge FF in my Slackware. Their version of the ESR is too old and obsolete.
