Firefox 4 Aims: Empowering, Powerful, Faster [beltzner.ca]

Today, I presented an early product plan for Firefox 4 to the Mozilla community (live, over the web!) to share our vision for the next version of Firefox, and what projects are underway to realize it. Then I invited everyone to get involved by joining our engineering or product development efforts. The primary goals for Firefox 4 will be making a browser: •Fast: making Firefox super-duper fast •Powerful: enabling new open, standard Web technologies (HTML5 and beyond!), •Empowering: putting users in full control of their browser, data, and Web experience. Usually software producers don’t present these sorts of plans in public until they’re finalized, but Mozilla is a little different. We work in the open, socializing our plans early and often to gather feedback and build excitement in our worldwide community.
