Ubiquity, a new Firefox extension from Mozilla Labs, offers an innovative command interface for web content manipulation and services. It functions similarly to desktop launcher tools but emphasizes web interactions, allowing users to alter webpage content, manipulate the browser interface, load pages in new tabs, and receive notifications. This development could sway users toward Firefox.

„The command interface is conceptually similar to desktop launcher tools like Enso, Quicksilver, and GNOME-Do. Unlike those tools, it places a strong emphasis on web content manipulation and web services. In many ways, it's like an interactive mash-up system. Ubiquity can respond to user instructions in several different ways. It can directly alter the contents of a web page, it can manipulate the browser interface, it can load a page in a new tab, and it can display output in a notification pop-up."

First the new Javascript Engine, which surpasses Squirrelfish by large amounts, now this. As much as I love Safari, if Firefox continues to add exciting features at such a strong pace, I seriously have to consider switching back to the beloved fox.
