Where does the name Firefox come from? Was it used for the Arcade or NES versions? --[[User:Grandy02|Grandy02]] 07:51, 11 October 2009 (EDT)

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/21118604@N08/3693587785/sizes/o/ This is called foxfire from a book "How to win at Donkey Kong" published back in 1982 (Mario was named that year when Donkey Kong Jr was released.)]

*I might rename this article to Foxfire as it may be closer to the original name.  Foxfire is part of Japanese folklore (kitsune-bi).--[[User:Jumper|Jumper]] 11:28, 11 October 2009 (EDT)

火の粉 (hinoko) which means sparks is another name I came about.--[[User:Platform|Platform]] 20:49, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

I know this is an old discussion, but for reference, ''How to Win at Donkey Kong'' has this to say right on the first page:
:''Donkey Kong is a trademark of Nintendo of America, Inc.''
:''CONSUMER GUIDE and PUBLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL LTD.''
:''are neither affiliated with nor have any contractual''
:''relationship with Nintendo of America, Inc. concerning''
:''publication of this book nor has Nintendo of America, Inc.''
:''authorized the publication of this book.''
If this is the only source for "Foxfire" then perhaps it should be deleted. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 10:42, 13 July 2018 (EDT)

-Foxfire is an official name from the [https://www.mobygames.com/game/pc-booter/donkey-kong/cover-art/gameCoverId,598451/ IBM-PC (MS-DOS)] and [https://youtu.be/Nwx9AgdYWbk?t=268 Apple II] ports. Should the redirect be restored?--[[User:Platform|Platform]] ([[User talk:Platform|talk]]) 06:17, July 14, 2021 (EDT)
-:I think it should have been kept even if it wasn't official, for search purposes. That's what a redirect is mainly for; it's not like the name was used on the page. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 06:26, July 14, 2021 (EDT)
