What's Next For Mozilla?

ezberry writes "After releasing version 1.0 of Firefox, what's ahead for the Mozilla Foundation and the venerable Firefox browser? With 6% of the market, and a notable exclusion from Google's desktop search software, PC World states that Mozilla may be thinking about adding desktop searching to the browser. Using plugins from third party vendors (and more), desktop searching may become a regular part of firefox. The article also talks about Mozilla improving firefox's popup blocker and getting OEMs to include firefox on their machines."

On demand porn

[kesler]

If they had on demand porn, it would have a 70% market share.

I can just see it now.. It's their evil-twin browser...

Firecrotch!

[JFlex]

I can see it now, Sublime with RSS feeds... *Pull down menu* ->"Cute redhead laying by pool" ->"Hot blonde playing with teddy bear" etc...

[slimyrubber]

IE already has that feature.. Just use it for 20 mins and you get all sorts of porn dialers.

Oh.. Maybe that explains IE's 92% market share!

how about an integrated mail client, calendar program, HTML editor, etc. Things to make firefox a more fully featured suite.

Re:Speaking of percentages...

[maxwell demon]

Well, it always depends on the market you take as base.

I guess Firefox has 100% of the Firefox market. :-)

So then ...

[nospmiS remoH]

... Firefox would be an inseparable part of the users operating system desktop? And would be deliverd as part of an OEM system?

What a novel idea.

I think there is a Rage Against the Machine song in there somewhere.

Re:4 steps to success

[maxwell demon]

Well, there are so many n-steps-to-success schemes (with n=3 being the most common). But I've found the most efficient scheme:

1. ???
2. Profit

You might think that

1. Profit

would be even more efficient, but I've tried it and it didn't work at all. :-)

What's next for *Mozilla*?

[YetAnotherName]

Easy:

1. Book a flight to Tokyo
2. Terrorize the city
3. Challenge Godzilla to a celebrity death-match

"Profit" is probably in there somewhere, too.

Re:What's next ? - more market penetration !

Desktop Search is a must-have for me

Whew, I just can't figure out why people need desktop searching; clean up your icons if you've got so many of the things you need a search engine! Sheesh!

Re:Rank them by importance

[Wanderer2]

I think I need to check this out, then. I have huge piles of paper on my desk, and it takes ages for me to find anything I need. It's usually scribbled on the back of something totally unimportant...

So you weren't alive before a month ago? Man, you're an advanced 1 month old. My daughter's a year old, and all she can do it bang on the keyboard, and screw up my slashdot posts 4itgharweg89 has

To expose and close the doors on those who try
To strangle and mangle the truth
'Cause the circle of spyware continues unless we react
We gotta take the browser back!

Unngh!

Man, I am so lame.

Re:Rank them by importance

[Kick the Donkey]

Sure. We need to outlaw guns, alcohol, and drugs. Well, I guess 1 out of three isn't THAT bad.

I just wish I could think of a way to add gay marriage to the list. But hell, that dosen't hurt ANYONE.
