The Firefox logo is not actually a fox, despite the name! It’s a common misconception.
The logo depicts a red panda, a small mammal with reddish-brown fur. The name “Firefox” itself comes from the red panda’s nickname.
There are a couple of reasons for the confusion:
Fox in the Name: The name “Firefox” naturally leads people to believe the logo features a fox.
Stylized Design: The red panda in the logo is quite stylized, particularly in the later versions where details are simplified.
So, while the logo evokes a sense of speed and cunning associated with foxes, it actually represents a red panda.
