For me I think the bigger problem with either name is that there English
and don't make
sense to users who cannot read English.
Phonetics of Firefox or Iceweasel sound pretty weird / forced when you
say them in Hindi or other Indian dialects.
Using Iceweasel as a base seems pretty sensible though -as a lot of the
strip out work is done there already. Contributing back and helping
with Iceweasel should also be high on our agenda.
