"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.

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.
