Firefox is wrong. That’s red panda, not a fox.
The Chinese word for red panda is literally Firefox, 火狐, that's where the web browsers name comes from.
Aren't they called 小熊猫 (little panda)? This is the first time I've heard them called 火狐
Both are correct. If you check the dictionary both are listed, as well as 紅熊貓. 小熊貓 is definitely the most common word though.
Not a fire either
