Laboratories are places where science and creativity meet to develop, research and explore new ideas. Mozilla Labs embraces this great tradition as a virtual lab where people come together online to create, experiment and play with Web innovations for the public benefit.
Today we’re calling on industry, higher education and people from around the world to get involved and share their ideas and expertise as we collectively explore and design future directions for the Web.
You don’t have to be a software engineer to get involved, and you don’t have to program. Everyone is welcome to participate. We’re particularly interested in engaging with designers who have not typically been involved with open source projects. And we’re biasing towards broad participation, not finished implementations.
We’re hoping to lower the barrier to participation by providing a forum for surfacing, sharing, and collaborating on new ideas and concepts. Our goal is to bring even more people to the table and provoke thought, facilitate discussion, and inspire future design directions for Firefox, the Mozilla project, and the Web as a whole.
Concepts may take the form of Ideas, Mockups or Prototypes.
- Ideas
It all begins with an idea. A sentence, paragraph, or even bullet-points kick-start the process. Ideas can be simple and non-technical. It should be easy for anyone and everyone to help shape the future of the Web. So throw your notions, inspirations, dreams and visions out to the community. - Mockups
Turn your idea (or someone else’s) into an image, sketch or video. Words are great, but you know what they say about pictures. Mockups offer up a visual and communicate ideas in terms that are just a bit more polished and real. They draw the next person in, tempting them to pick up the concept and run with it. - Prototypes
A prototype is interactive. Feel, touch and play with developing concepts. Prototypes get ideas across by showing off the moving parts. They aren’t always fully functional or pretty, but they’re more than a static image or two. They’re a dress rehearsal of sorts, with minimal programming. Make a prototype in HTML, Flash, or whatever puts things into action.
We only ask that all concepts and related source materials be freely redistributable and remixable under either a Creative Commons license (for Ideas and Mockups) or the Mozilla Public License (for Prototypes) so that we can all effectively collaborate on the exploration. Again, the intent is not for these concepts to evolve directly into new products but rather to provoke thought, facilitate discussion and provide inspiration.
Be bold. Be radical. The crazier, the better. Let’s explore the future together.

How to Get Involved
Join us on the Mozilla Labs site at http://labs.mozilla.com/projects/concept-series/.
Soon we’ll have a more structured way to contribute concepts. For now, all you have to do is use your favorite method of sharing an concept with the world. If it’s an idea, blog about it. If it’s a mockup, put it on Flickr. If it’s a prototype, host it on your web site. Tag it with “mozconcept” and then let us know about it by posting to the Concept Series discussion forum.
The words once decoded should be analyzed by an “assistant”. This could be a human-ish interface that you ask for things dizi izle and it does the mundane stuff. Lots of learning possibilities here; programming and teaching of what you mean and how words/facial expressions are linked together to give commands of meaning
Am always using the View/Zoom/Zoom In or Out. So instead of having to guide the mouse pointer through 3 separate clicks to zoom: how about two new icons up there next to “reload” and “home”? One icon has a plus sign on it, the other a video minus, for zooming. It is also inconvenient to have to carefully place your pointer onto the View, then carefully on Zoom, etc. Control +- also inconvenient asklip izle the light may be low if just surfing and can’t really see the keyboard, or have to use 2 hands
We need to search underlined or bold texts.
Moreover, a “back” on a new tab should be customized to go to the previous one.
This server would be scriptable with PHP (or whatever) and could be used to do background web searches, retrieving and filtering information requested by the client
Why not get Firefox to run under linux without chewing 100% cpu usage? What a novel idea…

Hello,
I just wanted to show you a site concept I am working on. Now I will not say too much about it here but would welcome Mozilla Labs technical gurus to contact me for further information. This particular concept was initially being developed as a talent network but as there are so many out there we have now tweaked the design further and have begun looking for funding on a new type of internet browser, similar to what you are talking of now. Basically we want to develop a new way of interacting with the world wide web and individuals from around the globe via VOIP…
Now yes, we are a very small company made up of two brothers, myself Richard (23) and brother, partner, Steven (28)
This concept is huge and is already attracting attention from independent developers but they are all demanding huge sums of money. What we would love to do is find some people who could help us design and develop the concept into Beta, but for free, with the aim of striking a deal for those developers to take a cut if found to be successful.
Mozilla Labs, we are now looking to you for some sort of communication. With no other way of getting direct contact with developers on your team, we thought by showing you the design you may be interested in what we have to say.
So anyone who wishes to discuss this further, including those at Mozilla, please contact me so that we can sign NDA’s and release the design concept to you. (its is very rough at the moment, but you will get the idea)
So anyone who wishes to discuss this further, including those at Mozilla, please contact me so that we can sign

While I’m at it, why not branch Firefox development? There appear to be two camps — those who would prefer a simple, fast, lean browser with few features, just basic browsing; and those who want the most and latest resource-hungry features imaginable.
For the Simple Browser crowd, get back to basics and create a Firefox Lite. For those who want a full-featured browser with full multimedia features, create a Firefox Plus. Or some such terms.

That has to be the slickest thing I have ever seen. Being a tech fan myself, I am truly anticipating a browsing experience like this
