The FAQ says preferred not correct though. But it feels unnatural. Having media background FX for me at least means "effects" (as in special effects). Firefox may be written as a single word but there are two words in there and the natural way would be FF IMO. I have seen someone use Fx once and it confused the heck out of me... sorry Mozilla, I will use FF..
- michaelmior 12y agoThey do say Fx and not FX which would appear different to me, although I'm sure many would assume Fx == FX.
- johnchristopher 12y agoThey do write Fx and not FX but I can't see how they would differentiate Fx from FX in a spoken conversation.
- rglullis 12y agoDo you abbreviate when speaking about Firefox?
- johnchristopher 12y agoIt happens, yes. But it might be because of the specificities of my first language (french). I don't think I would abbreviate it when speaking english though. My mistake, I should have taken that into account.
- arcatek 12y agoDepending on the context, FF can also mean Final Fantasy.
- brazzy 12y agoIt can also mean a sexual practice. I'll leave it as an exercise for the kind reader to figure out which one.
- raverbashing 12y agoI think they should use then FFx (I don't remember an abbreviation using the first and last letters, though)
