 Aside from issue that latest TBB versions show "Firefox" in main menu
 button, the name Aurora doesn't associate TBB w/ the Tor Project.

 I suggest a name that calls attention to TBB being associated w/ Tor
 (unless it is intentional to NOT call attention to which browser is being
 used in potentially hostile environments).

 The previous consideration aside, a name like Torbrowse, Torb, Torfox,
 Torser or others would distinguish it from Firefox (although, that could
 be a bad thing in hostile environments).

 Perhaps for those not living in repressive countries, a solution might be
 a simple addon (or options in UI settings) to use a different name in main
 menu button and / or color for menu button & open app tab in task bar.
