Tom's solution is dead on. Do that.

Mozilla is based, somewhat, on Netscape's browser, and still uses some
internal naming conventions previously used by Netscape. Mozilla was the
name of the Netscape mascot:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_%28mascot%29
For that matter, so does IE - there's a "navigator" object in the IE object
model, just like in the Mozilla object model, and IE still uses "Mozilla" in
its user agent string for compatibility reasons.

If you'd like to continue owning your computer, you should probably be
thankful that Firefox is a more secure browsing environment.
