*hands you the award* 
Grand Paradiso and Firefox are the same thing. If you want Firefox with the official branding, you will have to recompile it yourself from the AUR. There's a firefox-branded package floating somewhere in there if I recall.

I used to want branded Firefox, but lately have actually started preferring Gran Paradiso.
Note that there's is also a branding script posted here in the forums that can easily brand GP for you.

Forum search for "firefox branded script" pulled it up:

An updated version of it can be found in post #36.

Re: help with a firefox problem?
If the file is named firebrand:
chmod u+x firebrand...then run with root permissions, from the console:
sh firebrand...or you can install the branded version of FF from AUR.
