Within the web today, a browsing transformation is underway. We’re seeing constant advancement from the static browsing Middle Ages of old and the ushering in of a new Modern Era of openness, speed and security.
With this words, Mozilla’s Sean Martell presents his cool Da Vinci-esque A Web Browser Renaissance wallpaper available for 4:3 and widescreen formats. Also available as a persona.
After about a month in closed preview, Mozillaca, a micro-blogging site for the Mozilla community is finally open to the public.
Powered by Laconica, the open source microblogging engine, and setup and operated by a team of volunteers, it is pretty simple to follow and use thanks to its simple interface and functionality.
Join the Firefox 3 launch celebration with one of two high resolution images recently released by Mozilla.
The first one, features the Firefox robot in victorious pose with pieces of past robot scenes in the background, Firefox praise at the bottom mimicking a movie poster, actually inspired by an Indiana Jones poster.

Five finalists have been selected from more than 2000 entries for the Firefox 3 T-shirt design contest. Only one of my favorite designs was selected and I still believe some of them were better executed than some of the finalists while delivering similar messages, but a design contest is as subjective as it gets so no big surprise here.
Mozilla Marketing VP, Paul Kim, announced today that Mozilla has decided to pull back the Fight Against Boredom campaign mainly due to poor response to the video it is centered on.
“There hasn’t been a strong positive response from the Mozilla community to the video that is the centerpiece of the campaign. We don’t plan to spend any more time on this campaign as it’s clear that people aren’t inspired by the video. We’ve learned what we needed to and we will move on to try new things.”, said Paul in a blog post.
Mozilla is planning a marketing campaign labeled Fight Against Boredom based on a viral video apparently featuring actors playing stereotypes and real Firefox users. This seems to be the video filmed a few weeks ago Mozilla called fans to participate on.
For Foxkeh, it’s 2008 already. To celebrate the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, the Mozilla Japan team will enroll Foxkeh on a different sport each month.
For January, it is skiing. Perhaps not the best choice for the Summer Olympic Games but well, it’s winter in Japan so give him a break.
You can suggest your favorite sports for the coming months on Foxkeh’s blog.
As announced last month, a revamped version of Firefox marketing projects site, Spread Firefox, has gone live after about six weeks in beta.
