Web services in Firefox are those localizable functional areas within the browser, specifically, Live Bookmark (RSS Feed), Search Plug-Ins, and Content Handlers (RSS Readers, Web Mail and Web Calendar). You can read more about web services at [[L10n:Productization]].

We believe that localization teams are in the best position to provide recommendations on what local providers we can use for Web Services because you're in the market, work in the language, and  know your users. This is, therefore, meant a guideline for how you should be formulating your recommendations.

==Live Bookmark==
Our goal for including an RSS feed in the live bookmark is to demonstrate dynamic, changing and relevant content. We would suggest you choose something your users are interested in and that is locally relevant.
We have used these additional questions in some cases to further evaluate suggestions. These may be helpful when informing your recommendations:
====Relevance====
* Is the website relevant to the users in the locale?
* Is it updated frequently (at least once per day?) - the purpose of the sample feed is to show how the Live Bookmarks feature works
* For news sites: is it a popular, well-known and well-established general news website?
====Quality====
* Are you satisfied with the quality of articles (are they objective, gramatically correct)?
* Does the feed happen sometimes to contain any ads?
* Have you had any problems with the site working with Firefox?


==Search==

In all cases user experience should be taken into account and given preference for what is desired in that language/locale. if you have questions about what that means, please contact stas@mozilla.com or stas on IRC.

They should be translated in your language (because it makes the application unusable if it's not in your language), provide for the user experience intended for (e.g., minimal to no advertisements within the user experience), and no more than 3 (if possible) choices. Choosing based on popularity is fine.

==The "Getting started" page==
The objective of this page is to provide the users with a few task-based starting points they could use to enjoy the web and discover sites that will help them get the most out of Firefox (and the Internet in general). This page will be aimed towards beginning and intermediate Web users. We want to promote community/user oriented collaborative sites with good user experience in the locale and good standards support.
Within each category we'd like to include two to three suggestions on the www, one add-on related suggestion and one related Firefox features. The categories include:
* '''Work''' are samples of tools for working that are web-based or build on web technologies, follow open standards (i.e., not flash based).
* '''Learn''' is to provide users with useful, reference type links. More specifically when users want to find out about specific things these links can act like a reference tool set.
* '''Connect''' are examples of social networking sites, like chatting, forums, etc.
* '''Play''' are sample of entertainment either interactive or recipient only
