Given the origin of Firefox, I'll bet it is a a band. A string band of the hoedown variety.

I always assumed the name came from the japanese fox spirit the... Kitsune I think it was? who is also a spirit of fire and is depicted in flames a lot of the time?

It may have, but there was a series of books called Foxfire, a few decades ago, very popular with Whole Earth types (c'est moi).

I'd never thought of foxfire as a source for it, but that could be it too. In either the book series context or the original word context.

They both work for me.

The names were a peculiar romp as the product emerged: Gecko, Firebird, FireFox. And then there's Thunderbird. And coming soon to a Window near you, Seamonkey. Who knows?
