Mozilla Labs News & Articles

Considering the sh*t storm Facebook's currently weathering for their privacy issues, the emergence of social networking tools with more control comes as no surprise. This week Mozilla Labs introduced their own personal version: sudoSocial.  

Mozilla Labs is at it again (aren’t they always?). This time the dream team is aiming to streamline Firefox users’ experiences with extensions.

Say what? We thought the whole extension process was already pretty easy. After all, it doesn’t take much brain power to click an install button and reboot a browser. But…what if you didn’t have to reboot your browser? What if it were as simple as just clicking the install button? Well, now it is. Enter: Mozilla Jetpack. Blast off.

Browser wars time! As they continue to evolve, it’s apparent that the long-standing few all have one goal in common: to become extensions of their users.

That may sound a little hokey, but it’s undeniable that the less thinking we have to do as we trawl the Web, the happier we are. Once again here to help shift the workload from user to browser is Mozilla (news, site), whose lab kicked out a solution called Weave several months ago. Essentially a beefed up password manager, the tool gets users into their preferred sites in one to zero clicks.

Nearly everything can be stored and accessed in the cloud. But until now, an HTML coding editor has not been on that list. In an effort to increase the use of open web technology, Mozilla Labs, innovators of a variety of web technologies, has released an open web HTML editor framework.
