As a Mozillian daddy, I find this entirely innocuous – at worst, worth a chuckle.
If my child says "Fox Yeah" at school, I will be annoyed, but that's because he has been influenced by an ad. And if he says "Fuck Yeah", I'll teach him the difference, end of the story. I am sure that there are other parents who do not agree with me, but frankly, there are more interesting things to get angry about in the world than an ad using something that sounds like a swearword but isn't.
