I know *you* know what a browser is. But help someone who doesn’t.

Think for a moment about what you’ve used the Web or a computer for in the last 24 hours.   Maybe you paid your bills, skimmed through the latest news and weather, found shopping bargains or good eats.  Perhaps you watched your favorite TV show, took a higher education course, or found directions.  Maybe you chatted, [...]

Mozilla Marketing in Ad Age magazine

Good article just came out over at Ad Age, the trade pub about marketing and advertising, about what we’ve been up to as members of the Mozilla marketing squad.

Collect some Collections

Yesterday was a really great day for Mozilla Add-ons, with the re-launch of a new snazzy looking web home and some great new features that make discovering and sharing Add-ons much easier, and dare I say, addictive.  In a voice fit for your local FM station, Justin Scott walks you through a few videos about [...]

How fast are you?

Firefox 3.5 is just around the corner, and it’ll be packed with lots of cool stuff like geolocation, private browsing mode, and support for new open video standards. One of the best things about 3.5 is that it’ll be lightening/crazy/blazing/wow fast: more than twice as fast as Firefox 3 and 10 times as fast as [...]

No More Naked Browsers!

Today we’re launching a new and improved website to complement the Personas add-on.  Personas are easy-to-install “skins” for Firefox that make changing the look of your browser super simple and fun — try it out if you haven’t already.  In addition to a refreshed look-and-feel, the new website provides an easy way to discover new [...]

Neighborhood Watch

There are a number of websites and blogs that do a great job spreading the word about the Mozilla project. Some offer links to Mozilla news and information, some display Mozilla art, and some offer links to download Firefox. However, there are a small subset of people out there who aren’t playing nice, requiring personal [...]

A More Dynamic Experience

Millions of people visit Mozilla.com every month.  Many visit in order to download Firefox, while others may search for Firefox updates, support information, or how to get involved with the Mozilla community.  Up to now, we’ve treated every person visiting the Firefox download page in pretty much the same way: they all receive a message [...]
