That may be, but mozilla.org isn't exactly a brand like google.com. Most people have never heard of it.

If you're trying to get non-technical people to try an underdog browser, simplicity helps. A single, straightforward brand name is better.

It includes older people because Mozilla had previous work before Firefox, so they heard that name first. I've never heard anyone my age (27) or younger call it that, including non-technical people who somehow still have a nostalgic and/or ideological affinity for Firefox.
