Foxkeh is Firefox's official mascot here in Japan and am wondering if you have heard of him in your region? Cant help but think if Pedo bear when I see Foxkeh - am I the only one? BTW, you can also download bits of foxkeh in PNG format and make your own pedo poses. I used to work with the girl below at Amazon who's now doing marketing at Mozilla Japan - do they do Firefox ads in your region too?

No firefox mascot and no commercials that I've seen anyways. But I wouldn't mind more of the cute lady with the ears.

I've seen the fox before, but never knew it had a name. As for your other question, I've never seen ads around here, but I'm not really looking, either...

No adds or mascots here either but the fox ears were cute.

yeah ive heard of foxkeh before. used to pay attention to the blog and had the theme. bad part is firefox3 isnt compatible with the theme so ill have to wait til its fixed but i have a window background set. doesnt really remind me of pedobear though lol. there arent any firefox ads in america as far as i know but their shirts used to serve as a good way of getting the word out.

It does look rather like Pedobear, doesn't it? I think it's the creepy stalker eyes... °_°

Writer.
Did you know that Foxkeh has his own Firefox 2 theme you can download from Firefox Japan? I've been using it for a very long time on FF2 right after I made the switch to FF3 just a few days ago (after which I got unsatisfied with the fact that so many of my add-ons were non-compatible with it and switched to Opera 9.5).

I didn't even know Firefox did advertisements! Where do they get the money from? Donations?

Never see this Foxkeh in my region before. Actually it's my first time see it!!
(ID #218264) Posted on 2008/06/21 04:02
Never seen this fox until now.
(ID #218275) Posted on 2008/06/21 04:19
I think you guys are sick... It's just another gif icon like Hatsune Miko and Danny's "sisters" on desktop and must you develop ill intentions over it?

Never knew there were Firefox ads... or any browser ads for that matter. Pedobear has sort of a fox face... But yeah, like Zen said... lolifox FTW!

Gamer, the hardcore kind
Actually, I have heard of it, but only for three days. When I downloaded FF3, I discovered Personas for Firefox. It's a Mozilla project which includes many easily applied themes within a single extension, which is updated with more themes from time to time. There are 12 Foxkeh themes included. You can find it at http://labs.mozilla.com/2007/12/personas-for-firefox/

Thanks for that!

man...firefox 3 sucks!! is it just me or does it eat up too much resources (CPU and memory)?? there is noticeable lag when i mouse over the tabs for some reason...argh!
(ID #218387) Posted on 2008/06/21 09:44
No Firefox ads in the States that I've seen. And this reminds me, I have to get FireFox 3 tonight for the laptop.
(ID #218397) Posted on 2008/06/21 09:58
Cute! But no fox or ads here!
(ID #218550) Posted on 2008/06/21 13:49
Haha. The fox puppets are damn cute! Nope no firefox ads here. Only Gatsby.

(ID #219004) Posted on 2008/06/22 07:18
Wow I didn't even know Firefox had marketing O_o. I have never seen or heard of a commercial or any sort of mascot until now. Of course Lolifox has a mascot...

If the japanese are as crazy over kitsunes as their anime suggests, no wonder they will run an ad over there =) Nary an ad here for singapore, would love to have a firefox-tan figure (or other merchandise) to show my love =P
