197259 - Bring back old Mozilla splash screen (not as stupid as it sounds)

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 195577

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Erik Carlseen]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312

I fired up Moz 1.3 for the first time today and noticed that the spash screen
has had the Mozilla mascott removed and replaced with the more staid Mozilla
logo. I realized that you'd love for everyone to use Mozilla on its technical
and open source merits, however, I must convey that a large number of people
that I have "converted" from IE have specifically said they like using Mozilla
because they like seeing the mascot while it loads. These tend to be "newbie"
users (think "mom"). In any case, there's probably no user base to be gained and
possibly a small fraction to be lost by ditching the mascot.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load the Browser
2. Watch your screen
3. Sigh with disappointment


Actual Results:  
I rolled my eyes and logged onto Bugzilla.

Expected Results:  
Not fix what ain't broken.

place you own splash as mozilla.bmp in the mozilla apllication folder.
