Comment on Good luck figuring it out since it also doesn’t come with man pages

The point is that you’ve fallen for some idiots on X making up culture war bullshit.

Kit’s supposed pronouns aren’t mentioned by Mozilla anywhere in any Mozilla announcements.

One news site attributes this quote to Mozilla

Kit (he/she/they/them/it) is the user’s constant companion. Wherever they choose to roam, Kit will accompany and guide them with clever, playful encouragement and support — giving the user the confidence to run free.

That’s the one and only place that even remotely mentions it as far as I can tell. And it’s not even a statement that it’s NB or they/them… More like it’s a fictional mascot call it what you want.

Mozilla uses “they’re” to refer to Kit, but other than that there’s no explicit statement at all.

Kit is a companion, not a commentator. They’re not here to deliver punchlines. Kit shows up as a small signal that Firefox is working for you, then steps back so you can keep moving.

  I used “they” etc. when I don’t know the gender of the person I’m talking about. I feel like that’s the safest assumption.
