What's Next For Mozilla?

Posted by timothy on from the what-isn't dept.

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."

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

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

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

    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. :-)

    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.

    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!
