Reading the new about:mozilla text, it looks like Mammon refers to
Microsoft. I have something mostly ready to put in next iceweasel
upload, but I'd need a new text replacing Mammon with ... something.

I'll leave that to native speakers.

Cheers,

Mike

PS: I made it the book of Iceweasel, 10:13, by the way (10 instead of 11
because the current about:mozilla is 11:9).
