Severity: minor
browse-url.el has both `browse-url-mozilla' and `browse-url-firefox'.
Is there even a web browser called "Mozilla" around these days that is
separate from "Mozilla Firefox"? If not, should `browse-url-mozilla' be
deprecated?

Apparently mozilla was the name of Netscape browser after it was open
sourced, before the Phoenix browser (now known as Firefox) was developed
from it.

This seems correct, according to Wikipedia.[1] I also can't find any
package named "mozilla" in Debian, Redhat, Guix, Arch, etc.
So I've now obsoleted that support on master (commit 86dc875bf5).
