Mozilla, its mission, and the future of the Web

Agenda

•Some history

•WebFWD

•Web Apps

• Identity in the browser

10 years ago……it was all about breaking the browser monopoly and restore innovation

Fast-forward to 2011: Competition is back!

Is it time to say "Goodbye and thanks for the code?"

We have a vision of Internet life centered on individual empowerment

Success for Mozilla means that the Internet has respect for human

dignity and user sovereignty.

Success means that people everywhere have onramps to the Internet

that enable them to move from

consumption to creation

Success for Mozilla means that people are no

longer a number online

that companies can track, monetize and

sell.
