"The lash deals 1d8 points of fire damage to a target within 15 feet on a successful ranged touch attack. A pyro can take Weapon Focus and Weapon Specialization (if she otherwise meets the prerequisites) in conjunction with the fire lash, as well as any feats that apply to the use of a standard whip."

A question:

Is this a melee weapon or a ranged weapon? Does it threaten a 15' range and thus be used for Attacks of Opportunity? Can it be enhanced by Psionic Weapon? Psionic Shot? Either one? And can it be set afire (despite already being made of fire) by the Pyrokineticist's Weapon Afire ability?

Firelash follows the rules of a whip:
It's a melee weapon, doesn't threaten any squares, but unlike normal reach weapons can attack any square it threatens, gives attacks of opportunity as if you had used a ranged weapon. Yes Psionic Weapon and Weapon Afire would work with it.

Erm, not to point this out unnecessarily, but this is in the wrong section entirely. It has to do with official (not homebrew) 3.x material.
