Mozilla's Chris Beard on the Future of Firefox and Online Services
Submitted by srlinuxx on Tue, 12/04/2007 - 21:40.
Mozilla wants Firefox to get in on the social web. First came The Coop, which remains an active project, and now Chris Beard, VP and General Manager for Mozilla Labs, says that Mozilla is looking to develop an open, extensible framework for online services.
Beard says that the goal of the framework would be allowing users to access web services and social sites and sync data between their web browser, web aggregator or web-enabled desktop application.
So far the project appears to be just an idea, though there was a website briefly available at services.mozilla.com (the site was removed and currently the page reads: “new account registrations have been temporarily disabled”). As for what Mozilla’s take on an open service framework might look like, Beard outlines a few guiding principles.

Gecko should be abandoned first ? FAX in segmented channels ?
Mozilla Firefox is not efficient, and wasted way too much time on list of dependency framebuffers(links) to layout and render a single webpage. It should first start a packet converter website to convert webpages made of many framebuffers to get a single pixeled webpage, that resolution fits the monitor screen. Like Opera mini, except webpages are converted by automation into FAX format(Mpeg4 thumbnails and motion jpeg zoom feature) for transmission.
Data transmission is now done in time division multiplexers, carrying edge QAM 64/256 channels of segmented data. All web data transfer had to be segmented and collated. Triple play compatible is a must.
Then, Firefox should have simple wordprocessor on the toolbar that can do drag and drop, cut and paste for quick webpages to be delivered to other email addresses? And simple taskbar that can offer searched and displayed windows of text and pictures(movies or news) for drag and drop and cut and paste composition?
