Yes as far as the title on the Mozilla page goes but: Ahmed is pronounced Achmed (if your first langues is e.g. English).

Among my Arab friends with that name the spelling that omits the 'c' is more common. Another common form is Ahmad which is still pronounced the same.

The version with 'c' is one that contains a pronunciation hint for people whose native language is not Arabic (but probably English). As is the one with the 'e' vs the 'a' as last vowel.

I.e. Ahmad == Ahmed == Achmed.
