Mozilla TaskFox will add Ubiquity features to Firefox
Ubiquity is a Firefox extension that pops up a command-line interface that lets users quickly execute common tasks, like searching or emailing something to yourself. It's like an in-browser version of Quicksilver (on a Mac) or Launchy (for Windows). Ubiquity is so useful and powerful that Mozilla is planning to integrate it into a future version of Firefox, in a project called Taskfox.Taskfox is off to a great start with its list of goals and non-goals. It's going to try to be as natural a part of your workflow as possible, and never interrupt you -- in other words, it will make things easier to do, but it won't be that infernal paperclip from MS Word. Making it a seamless part of the Firefox experience is on the goals list, too, and I think that's the most important part. I don't think of Quicksilver as separate from the OS on my Mac anymore, and I don't see why a really good version of Ubiquity shouldn't be the same way in Firefox. On the non-goals list, Taskfox isn't making any attempt to be a separate platform, although it will have an API so you can code extensions for it, in typical Firefox style.

That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
