Roadmaps

Mozilla's product-related roadmaps. See also, our Feature lists.

	Firefox Product Roadmap
	Owner: '	Updated: 2012-01-24
	Firefox is a key expression of Mozilla's mission and manifesto; it represents our vision of a people-centric web experience, as well as a platform and tooling that make it possible to do amazing things with the web.

	Marketplace & Add-ons Ecosystem 2012 Roadmap
	Owner: Justin Scott	Updated: 2012-01-24
	Mozilla is building a Marketplace to bring personalized discovery, worldwide distribution, and easy payments to the largest platform for app development: the Web.

	Web Builder 2012 Roadmap
	Owner: Daniel Buchner	Updated: 2012-01-24
	For 2012, we will be working on two primary initiatives: launching the Add-on Builder website in its current state and transitioning the product to a more generic Web Builder to support rapid development of all developer-facing Mozilla platforms (add-ons, apps, etc.)

	Developer Tools 2012 Roadmap
	Owner: Kevin Dangoor	Updated: 2012-01-24
	The web must be easier to develop for than proprietary platforms. One way in which Mozilla helps keep the web out in front is by making Firefox the best dynamic environment for building modern web applications. In 2012, we'll build on the momentum started in 2011 to deliver a useful and easy-to-use suite of tools.

	Privacy and User Control 2011 Roadmap
	Owner: Sid Stamm	Updated: 2012-01-24
	The vision behind Mozilla's 2011 privacy roadmap is focused on users, calling for increased anonymity on the web, starting with sensible privacy defaults, giving users the ability to make informed choices about disclosing their information, facilitating web transparency so users understand how their data is being collected and used, and allowing for flexibility while maintaining sensible baselines for those who are not interested in privacy.

	Sync 2011 Roadmap
	Owner: Jennifer Arguello	Updated: 2012-01-24
	As an organization, we have three main areas of focus: Desktop, Mobile and Apps. Sync and other Services (such as Identity, Social) form a critical foundational piece for each of these areas. Not surprisingly, the priorities for Sync are driven a lot by what we are hoping to achieve on each of these major focus areas. Additionally, there are various areas of user pain that we should address.

	Plugin Interactions Roadmap
	Owner: Kev Needham	Updated: 2012-01-24
	Over the past year we've raised user awareness of content plugins, and improved their interactions with them through the plugin check page and out-of-process plugins. In 2011 we need to continue to educate users about plugins and how they work, and simplify the installation and update process with Firefox. We'll make it easier to install and update the most popular plugins (e.g. Adobe Flash and Reader, Microsoft Silverlight, etc.) and will act as a liason between plugin developers and users. We'll continue to expand and improve our relationships with plugin authors, and proactively work with them to ensure that the content consumption experience is the best it can be for users.

	Third Party Services Roadmap
	Owner: Kev Needham	Updated: 2012-01-24
	Firefox makes use of a number of third party services to protect and serve its users. In most cases, how those services are presented to the user - if they're presented at all - hasn't changed since their implementation. The Services roadmap will focus on identifying and integrating third-party services into Firefox, as well as how we can facilitate discovery of those services. For 2011 Roadmap, we'll look at enhancing search and plugin management offerings, along with how we might add 404/NXERROR suggestion and social messaging/notification services to Firefox and other Mozilla products (in addition to the Sharing features being considered).

	Firefox for mobile 2011 Roadmap
	Owner: Jay Sullivan	Updated: 2012-01-24
	Firefox for desktop revolutionized the browser market by driving innovation and creating diversity, which opened the web to a new generation of users and applications, and inspired and empowered web developers. With the dramatic shift from desktop computers to mobile devices, people are going online anywhere they go rather than browsing the web at home or at their office desk. However, most parts of the web are not optimized for mobile access. Until now. We want to deliver a product and services that do not only provide the best mobile web experience, but also set new standards: Firefox for mobile launched on Nokia’s Maemo Platform early 2010. Firefox 4 brings the Firefox experience to mobile devices running the Android operating system. This roadmap describes how the mobile web experience will evolve with new features and technology in 2011 and beyond.

	Firefox Home 2011 Roadmap
	Owner: Thomas Arend	Updated: 2012-01-24
	We at Mozilla believe that the web should be accessible and easy to use anywhere you go. Today’s mobile devices make it particularly hard to browse complex web pages that were not optimized for the mobile web. And nobody likes to type much on virtual keys or on small mobile keyboards anyway. Browsing on mobile devices should be easy, fast, fun, and secure - across all platforms. That is why we launched the Firefox Home app for iPhone in 2010. Firefox Home uses Firefox Sync to give you on-the-go access to bookmarks, open tabs, and browsing history from Firefox on your laptop and desktop computers and from your other connected mobile devices so you can type less and browse more. The Awesome Bar is the innovative way for accessing your online life with just one touch. And you can even share your favorite links easily with your friends. You can download Firefox Home from the iTunes App Store today. This roadmap describes how Firefox Home will evolve from a native iPhone application into a cross-platform Web Application for a seamless Firefox web experience.

	Firefox Features for Support
	Owner: Michael Verdi	Updated: 2012-01-24
	These Firefox features will help users fix their own problems and help the user support team better help users get a great experience with Firefox.
