Indeed, Chad is right, those are just unrelated projects (we just can't 
advertise every FOSS project we like, we are not a links farm). The only 
relation I can think of is that Mozilla can be used to *view* our 
images, but so can be used tens or hundreds of other programs.

More, we have our own policy for affiliation: 
http://openclipart.org/wiki/index.php/Affiliations (it is not strongly 
enforced)

We already link to Mozilla in the list of tools for accessing SVG:
http://openclipart.org/wiki/index.php/SVG_Tools

We are open to a collaboration with Mozilla but it should be something 
reciprocal.
