Kind of a click-baity title; I apologize.
For some while now I’ve been seeing the abbreviation of Firefox slowly mutate from Fx/fx to FF.
From the release notes:
How do I spell Firefox? How do I abbreviate it?
Firefox is spelled F-i-r-e-f-o-x - only the first letter capitalized (i.e. not FireFox, not Foxfire, FoxFire or whatever else a number of folk seem to think it to be called.) The preferred abbreviation is “Fx” or “fx”.
I mean, it makes total sense to abbreviate Firefox with two capital Fs, and the documentation does say “preferred abbreviation,” but I just wanted to make those of you who didn’t know about this aware…aware of the fact that you’re abbreviating Fx wrong, God dammit!
Sorry for wasting your time, bro
Nothing of the sort on your behalf. I learned something, just it seems so dumb that before the Spread Firefox campaign in the early 2000's, they put so much thought into such an abbreviation. It must have been an internal thing, that the regular populace never really adopted.
Speaking of… apparently the Spread Firefox campaign was often abbreviated SFX… makes sense based on the context provided from your post, but I would never in a million years associate SFX with that… I'd think "Sound Effects" or something.
