Besides the dino head on the tag buttons what exactly does this mean? All the article says is "We are now happy to announce our presence on Stack Overflow!"
It means that we are sponsoring those tags on Stack Overflow, have a landing page there and that people at Mozilla actively monitor and take part in discussions marked with that tag.
Yes, I do. :-) That logo is the new logo for MDN, our network for developers at Mozilla. Since Stack Overflow is a resource for developers we see a direct connection to that. Also, we have different foxes for different products, so that would probably be confusing - rather have one consistent look.
I could barely recognize what that tag icon means. A small odd white shape on another odd blue shape. You can spot the Google Chrome and Android icons from a mile. Come on.
It's a funny thing that I yesterday read in the Mozilla branding guidelines[1] that they are retiring the dino head and now announces that he's back.
Different shape and color guess I makes it, but they should mention it in the guidelines.
It's a good thing I think that they are spending time helping people. It is developers within Mozilla who are answering the questions so hopefully they will take notice of what is confusing and troublesome for people and use it to fix the concentrated areas.

"A note on the dino"
"The classic Mozilla dino head logo served as a symbol of the organization since our earliest days, but has now been retired from active duty. While the brand has evolved, the dino had not been updated in quite some time and is no longer the best representation of who we are today. He spends his days traveling, reading and still looking out for the interests of users everywhere (some habits die hard). We wish him well in his future endeavors. Please use the Mozilla wordmark on all properties and materials instead." - https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/styleguide/identity/mozilla/br...
That logo is part of the new MDN redesign. In general, the dino is very popular among developers so I believe we will most likely continue to use it in developer circles, whereas it might go away in others.
And exactly, we both want to help out and also identify what developers have issues with.
