I found this http://www-archive.mozilla.org/projects/firefox/firefox-name-faq.html in your archives, but it does not clearly state if the logo is a panda or a fox

I am not 100% certain, but I believe that the animal on the logo is a red panda because "Firefox" is a popular nickname for the red panda.

the name "firefox" comes from the red panda, but the icon is apparently more resembling a fox (it was done in a hurry). a little bit of ambiguity and people discussing the cuteness factor of the browser seems to be quite a likeable thing to maintain ;-)
