The latest versions of Firefox did not bring any drastic changes to the way people browse the Internet besides a few welcomed features like tabs. Now, Mozilla Labs placed a call to the online community to share their ideas on the future of the Web.
The project called "The Concept Series" is set to track and share future Web concepts submitted by users. "Everyone is welcome to participate" says the Mozilla Labs Blog. "We're particularly interested in engaging with designers who have not typically been involved with open source projects."
The concepts Mozilla Labs is asking for range from paragraph long ideas to mockups and interactive prototypes. Working with various designers and design firms, three inaugural concept videos were posted on Mozilla's blog. Below is one. You'll find the rest online here.
Aurora (Part 1) from Adaptive Path on Vimeo.
The first concept, Aurora, "explores new ways people could interact with the Web in the future based on projected technological trends and real-world scenarios."
The second concept depicts a different way of visualizing and interacting with bookmarks while the Mobile Concept is an experimental UI proposal for Firefox Mobile.
Mozilla Labs is the research and development division of the Mozilla Foundation, best known for its Firefox browser.
One feature I would love to have on Firefox is ability to disable/collaspe tables. When it's available I would fully moved to Firefox. Until then I will stick with Opera.
