Hey FriendFeed, FF is already taken by FireFox. Please don't call yourself that.
I’m happy to clear this up

8. 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".
From Mozilla Firefox 1.0 Release Notes.
I’m happy to clear this up.

Inappropriate?I've not seen Fx in the wild. Anyone using it?
Maybe ff could be used for firefox, in case FriendFeed sticks to FF and takes the extra effort to press the shift-key? -
Inappropriate?I've never used Fx either. FF FTW. -
Inappropriate?Tom is right, Fx is the "official" abbrv as used by Mozilla. I would wager they are the definitive source.
