Ubiquity: Mozilla's Take on a Web Command Line

Screenshot

There's a lot of buzz right now about Ubiquity: Mozilla's attempt to explore command-based interaction within Firefox. Users of other command-oriented interfaces like QuickSilver or Enso, will feel right at home with Ubiquity: you activate it within your browser with a simple key combination, and then start typing. Depending on what you type, stuff happens.

Contest Winners Announced in "Extend Firefox 3" Competition

One of the keys to the success of Firefox, the popular open-source browser produced by the Mozilla Foundation, is its extensibility. Earlier this summer, the Mozilla Foundation sponsored a contest, dubbed Extend Firefox 3, that offered prizes to the best add-ons that developers would submit. Last week, contest judges announced the winners.



Mozilla Plans to Nudge Firefox 2.0 Users to Upgrade

Mozilla, ARM and Others Eyeing a New Class of Device

I read with interest this item, along with analysis from Matt Asay about Mozilla, ARM, MontaVista Software and four other companies working together on a new category of device. The partners envision devices that sit between smartphones and laptops, and they sound very much like the Ultra-Mobile PC (UMPC) tablets, such as the ones Nokia makes. In light of the fierce competition shaping up for mobile open source platforms, this may be good news.


How Will Mozilla's Fennec Mobile Browser Look and Feel?

As we wrote about the other day, Mozilla has reached a sixth developer milestone for its Fennec browser--intended for mobile handsets and platforms. Fennec (the word means small fox ) is a very critical browser in Mozilla's overall strategy, and we've written about why before. It's slated to be available for the upcoming wave of Linux- and Android-based mobile handsets due out later this year, where it could be a key open source application for them. As part of its concept series of videos and screencasts, there is a screencast illustrating how some of the user interface for Fennec may work in the final version. Here's what it looks like.


Mozilla Delays Firefox 3.1 Beta, Announces Other Browser Updates

Mozilla has a whole roster of news headlines related to its browsers out today. In its about:Mozilla newsletter, the company has announced that a new version of the Camino browser is available (it's developed by the Camino Project, but is based on Mozilla's Gecko layout engine). Many Mac users love Camino for its lickety-split performance. Mozilla has also confirmed that a sixth milestone version of its upcoming mobile browser, dubbed Fennec, is out. And, as ZDNet reports, the beta of the next version of Firefox--version 3.1--has been delayed from August 19th until September 9th. Here are the details.

WWD: First Look at Mozilla's Snowl

Our sister site WebWorkerDaily has a first look post up about Mozilla's Snowl. It's a prototype Firefox extension that purports to move messaging beyond email and to the types of communication now commonplace across social networks, blogs and services such as Twitter, according to Imran Ali. It aggregates messages from email services, syndicated feeds, forums and social networks, but Imran finds it to fall short of its mark. Check out the reasons.
