Japanese Firefox mascot needs a name!

September 2nd, 2006 by James

As part of a campaign to promote the Firefox web browser in Japan, a cutesy little fire-tailed fox mascot has been created. Mozilla Japan is currently running a contest to decide a name for the thing. How about “firefox”?

Is it my imagination or do both the drawings on their web site make it look like the fox is, um, defecating.

Orchid, no, I too get that impression – it looks like the tail’s been consumed by flames as the fart he’s just let off has been lit!
