We’ve had about 500,000 visitors over the past 3 months, of which 61% use Firefox, 23% use IE, and 11% use Safari. Opera and some browsers I haven’t heard about before make up the rest of the traffic.

This is a trend, we can see in Germany for years: the tremendous growth of Firefox usage.

Like any good research lab, the goal is not an immediate product but a set of innovative ideas that can be played with and debated without the pressure of an immediate implementation

The Concept Series aims to provoke thought, facilitate discussion, and inspire future design directions for Firefox, the Mozilla project, and the Web as a whole.

The most important concept for me is:

* stable
* fast
* handling much more than 20 tabs parallel
* secure browsing
* playing flash under Ubuntu slim and fast

Today Firefox 3 is sometimes much CPU consuming with Ubuntu and instable playing flash sites.

Firefox 3.0 was a big step in this direction of performance optimization!

A cool new feature might be the Firefox extension Snowl.
It’s a prototype Firefox extension that integrates messaging into the browser. It integrates RSS/Atom and twitter.

Please, no more features to Firefox Core, simple make in faster as my favorite browser!
