Talk:Firefox (disambiguation)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There wasn't anything on the Roni Size to explain the connection to "Firefox", so I removed the link. [[User:GK|gK ¿?]] 09:10, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] animals
I'm not sure the animals should be mentioned here at all. The English name "firefox" is not being used for any animals, except when discussing the browser name. As for the Chinese name, it can refer to the red for or the red panda, see Talk:Red Panda.
- The creative usage of the literal translation of the Chinese, 火狐, in English predates Mozila Firefox (there were over 200 examples of this usage on Google before the name change of the browser), which has now popularised it to a level where I think it probably should be mentioned.
- As an aside, does anyone know why zh:火狐 goes to a page about the browser without any sign of a disambiguating hatnote? (Note: I don't even have any Chinese fonts installed so I cannot even see let alone read the ideographics on that page). Also, although the red panda article over there (zh:小熊猫) has 火狐 at the top of the page, the red fox one (zh:赤狐) doesn't contain that string.

[edit] Firefox Ltd
Anyone know if there's a Wikipedia entry on Firefox ltd (http://firefox.co.uk/)? I added Fiefox Ltd to the lsit of meanings, but i don't see an entry on it.
[edit] Foxfire
Foxfire has many meanings and therefore a link to the disambiguation page is enough, I removed the single explanation of Foxfire as a bioluminescence from a forest fungus.
[edit] Mozilla Firefox and Firefox
Hello There is a discussion going on at the Firefox redirect (see Talk:Firefox) about the position of Mozilla Firefox on this page, and whether Firefox should redirect here or to Mozilla Firefox. Please feel free to join in the discussion there. --H2g2bob 23:55, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

- Why is this page not relevant to the discussion. It is after all the page you insist on redirecting to. Ansell 23:16, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

- I think you're probably referring to my notifying of both Ansell (here) and an anonymous editor (here), who both edited the Firefox redirect page (history) while it was disputed that there was discussion going on at the talk page (I feel this is apropriate as there are no disputed tags on that page). These people both had opposing views. If this was against the rules, then I apologise. --H2g2bob 23:35, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
