Firefox 3.2 Plans Include Natural Language, Themes

Posted by timothy on Tuesday February 10, 2009 @02:00AM from the subject-to-change dept.

Shrike82 writes "Mozilla have described plans for the next version of their popular web browser, Firefox. Mozilla's "Ubiquity project" is set to become a standard feature, allowing "users to type natural language phrases into the browser to perform certain tasks, such as typing 'map 10 Downing Street' to instantly see a Google map of that address, or 'share-on-delicious' to bookmark the site you're currently visiting on the social news site." Also of interest is so-called "lightweight theming" allowing users to customise the browsers design more easily. The launch date is still somewhat unclear, and Mozilla are apparently unsure if version 3.2 will be released at all, apparently considering going straight to Firefox 4."

I just added a "new" #2
Argh! I can't help it...
Who is #1?
You are #6.
I am not a number, I am a free man!
When #2 leads to Prisoner flash-backs instead of potty humor, you know you've entered nerd-dom.
Off-topic... I know... Feel free to mod-bomb. Karma bonus foregone.
