Firefox 3.2 Plans Include Natural Language, Themes 285
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."

save users a heap of bandwidth and build the entire Internet into the browser. Mozilla: the only browser that doesn't need a 'net connection! It'd have around the same amount of bloat.
Parent is not a troll. This is about the first thing I thought of when I read the summary.

But the thing is, how many people won't type "download some free porn movies"? Should they make it a button? [I feel lucky!]? :D
The Internet (is still) for porn [youtube.com]

Chuck doesn't like it when people try to keep tabs on him. It will most likely show your current location because he'll be standing behind you snapping your neck.

Natural language? Natural for who?
Will we have to have versions for the West Coast, East Coast, down South...Ebonics?
I can see it now "Yo Yo Yo...show me the mother fuckin' U.I. site...Word!"
No, not Word. OpenOffice.org Writer. Microsoft has trademarked the word 'Word'.
Besides, Word doesn't work on all supported platforms, so it would be considered discrimination against AAVE speakers running Linux. Or BSD.
