Firefox???? Posted Feb 9, 2004 17:10 UTC (Mon) by KaiRo (subscriber, #1987) [Link] You don't have to like the name... just like the software ;-)And you can always stick with plain Mozilla 1.6 (or call it "Seamonkey", like we've been doing for years now). BTW, Firefox is a cute littel animal, also called the Red or Lesser Panda, belonging the the Panda family...
Firefox???? Posted Feb 9, 2004 17:28 UTC (Mon) by proski (subscriber, #104) [Link] The is no Panda family. Giant panda belongs to the same family as bears, while lesser panda is from the same family as raccoons. More information san be found on the Carnivora page of the Tree of Life.Pictures of lesser panda, courtesy of Google.
Firefox???? Posted Feb 9, 2004 17:37 UTC (Mon) by KaiRo (subscriber, #1987) [Link] Thanks for point that out exactly...I didn't want to use "family" in the exact biological meaning here, but you're right. I should have said "Fire Fox is a relative to the Pandas" or something like that. Anyhow, it's a quite cute animal :)

It is certainly a cute little animal, but it is not clear whether it belongs to the same family as the Giant Panda. See the wikipedia entry which include a nice photograph.
Firefox???? Posted Feb 9, 2004 18:10 UTC (Mon) by jensend (guest, #1385) [Link] "Red Panda" would be a better name, as would just about anything else. It looks like USPTO only has one entry for anything named "Red Panda" - a graphics company which I guess went out of business and cancelled its trademark in 2001.
Firefox???? Posted Feb 9, 2004 20:57 UTC (Mon) by jsebrech (guest, #11709) [Link] Hmm, I don't know. For me firefox has connotations of fast and clever. Red panda has connotations of communist and lazy. But then that's just me.
