Firefox, the browser, was originally named after a red panda
Actually, it was originally named Phoenix. Then they changed it to Firebird to avoid infringing on the Phoenix BIOS company’s trademark, then they changed it to Firefox because there was already a database program named Firebird.
Red Pandas are also often known as 火狐 in chinese, which literally translates to “fire fox”.
