FireFox Update (maybe?)


The extremely popular Firefox add-on Ubiquity (over two-hundred thousand active users and over a million downloads) is possibly going to be integrated into Firefox, probably though the "Awessomebar". The Awesomebar is what Mozilla calls the enhanced URL bar in Firefox 3.0, already acts as a history and bookmarks search tool, so adding Ubiquity will allow the user to integrated Flickr searches, dictionary look ups and hundreds of other handy functions of Ubiquity can perform. The Awsomebar is adaptive, learning which pages you selected and moving them closer to the top of the results the next time you search, which would also be used with Ubiquity. Unfortunately Ubiquity is still in the experimental stages, but if you are interested in learning more please click here and here.
