About Labs

Laboratories are where science and creativity meet to develop, research, and explore new ideas. Mozilla Labs embraces this great tradition — a virtual lab where people come together to create, experiment, and play with new Web innovations and technologies.

Anything goes here. Crazy ideas and inspirations are encouraged as we all explore and experiment with brand new ideas in whole new ways. Mozilla Labs is about inspiring and harnessing the intelligence, wisdom, and energy of the Mozilla community; let’s imagine the future of the Web, and then let’s build it together.

All are welcome. Come play.

Labs Sites

Labs Projects

Joey - Joey is a server, Firefox add-on, and java midlet that allow you to pass data from your Firefox browser to cell phone. Discuss the project in the Joey Forum.
Operator - Operator is a Firefox add-on that lets you combine pieces of information on Web sites with applications through the use of Microformats. Discuss the project in the Operator Forums
The Coop - The Coop is an emerging Firefox add-on that will let users keep track of what their friends are doing online, and share new and interesting content with one or more of those friends. Discuss the project in the The Coop Forum.

The Idea Center

We have hundreds of people submitting thoughts and ideas about Firefox and other Web technology development all the time, but there is no central or specific place where these should go so they show up in newsgroups, mailing lists, irc, personal email, mozillazine forums, in the wikis, etc. There is incredible value in that collective intelligence, wisdom, and energy, and figuring out how to focus and harness that has the potential to drive the future of the Web. This is what the Idea Center is for.

At the moment, the Idea Center is one of the Labs Forums. If you have ideas or would like to explore and play with other people's ideas, please join us.

Partner Sections

In order to retain the confidentiality of partners who may be considering participation with Mozilla Labs, there are two areas here. The first is publicly accessible to all Mozilla community members. You can submit ideas and candidate partner names of who you think Mozilla should be working with. The other section is private for Mozilla Corp-Partner discussions.
