If you take a look on the right side of the page, you’ll see a Mozilla Labs design challenge logo. That’s because we’re running a Summer 2009 Design Challenge, which is currently open to submissions! The topic is “Reinventing Tabs in the Browser” (a topic I am very interested in).
Click the logo in the right sidebar (or click here) to go to the page with the detailed description of the design challenge, including the deadlines and the instructions for submitting your concept. Go check it out!

Labs is currently running a Design Challenge, in which design students from around the world are taking their ideas for the interfaces of the future from the initial concept through to a working prototype.
We’re doing a series of web seminars to help these students learn the skills they’ll need to complete their prototypes.
One of these tutorial sessions, taught by Myk Melez, is now up on the web in video form for public consumption:
Extension Bootcamp: Zero to Hello World! in 45 Minutes
If you’ve ever been interested in writing a Firefox extension, but never knew how to get started, then this is the one for you. Despite the title, it’s actually over 90 minutes long. Nevertheless, I highly recommend finding 90 spare minutes to follow along with Myk’s awesomely thorough tutorial. I honestly don’t think there’s ever been a better way to learn the basics of extension development.
