Fennec is not remotely like Firefox. It has an entirely different UI, for one. Other than the underlying technologies, all it has in common with Firefox is that they're both Mozilla projects.
It makes as much sense to call Fennec "Firefox" as it does to rename the Honda Odyssey to the Pilot, because the Pilot and Odyssey have the same engine and they're both made by Honda.
Ok, that was a van/SUV analogy rather than a car analogy, but you get my drift.
I could like with "Firefox Mobile" or "Firefox Lite", but just Firefox? That's madness.
