She's apparently at least the fourth, as there was a one-shot Supergirl villain who used the name as well. Which makes it even more bizarre that Cockrum wasn't allowed to use the name.
Anyway, the trait is the long-hair with energy trail following her when she flies, but what we're looking for is a specific connection between that and the name "Wildfire".

Hint: If Drake Burroughs hadn't been named "Wildfire", this connection might be a bit more obvious.

When I think about this question, this Wildfire keeps popping up in my mind

That's basically it. The long-hair merging into energy trail was a distinctive feature of the original Wildfire. I'm pretty sure she originated it, being one of the first female comics characters.
I just thought it was kind of a cool fact amongst the already complicated tangle of characters using the same names, with the original Wildfire not being used in All-Star Squadron because of the Legionnaire sharing her name, while in turn the Legionnaire was originally supposed to be called "Starfire" but was prevented by another character with that name, and meanwhile the most famous Starfire borrowed a very distinctive trait from the original Wildfire.

Oh, it does sound like something I heard in Young Justice, but can't remember. Guessing Lagon/Lagoon Boy?
