A FireMark is nothing new. It's simply a bookmarklet.
Any sort of bookmarklet. FireMark === bookmarklet.
Does everything have to be a slightly pretentious acronym? Very well, then. FIRE stands for...
Feature-Initiating Resource Extension
Yeah. It is. So don't worry about the acronym. Just call it a FireMark. You stopped worrying about Ajax ages ago, right?
We don't need another name for bookmarklets. It's not the end of the world to have one though. Not least because:
i) Bookmarklet isn't even the first name they went by. According to Wikipedia... (favelet reference)
ii) Bookmarklet feels a little bit wrong. Like it's describing something else. ... IIFE ... (portmanteau: bookmark + applet)
iii) Bookmarklets feel like they've fallen out of favour a little bit. The term itself seems quite old and outdated, something from the early 2000s. There's nothing wrong with applying an energetic new name to a feature which, arguably, still ought very much to be current and popular. Appmark would work. But "app" is kind of overused in far too many contexts. So, since favelet originally borrowed from IE, I wondered about using Firemark. Firemark is intended to suggest a bookmark which is on fire. Not on fire because it's just been dropped into a wood-burning stove but on fire like a turbo engine is on fire.
