Did you ever imagine what is the most powerful community developed software. True, it’s Linux. But more often than not Firefox just keeps fascinating me with stuff that’s beyond my pitty imagination. Sometime back I wrote about Snowl. If that was not enough, Mozilla now comes out with something which for me is just out of this world. Ubiquity, is the new concept that’s being rolled out by Mozilla Labs. Before, I define or get into the details of what it does let me quickly scrape the meaning of Ubiquity from dictionary.com for my vocabulary is pretty mundane. Here’s what the famous dictionary.com has to say on ubiquity:

the state or capacity of being everywhere, esp. at the same time; omnipresence: the ubiquity of magical beliefs.

Now, I am sure there’s some lingo expert working at Mozilla Labs for they have a perfect definition to the concept that they just unleashed to lesser mortals like me. Ubiquity is a Firefox extension that’s present everywhere in terms of the searched and commands that you can give to Firefox. That means now I have the power to even more customize my Firefox and if extensions were not enough to make customization easy. Let’s see what Mozilla has as definition for Ubiquity:

Ubiquity is an experimental Firefox extension that gives you a powerful new way to interact with the Web. Ubiquity commands can do nearly anything. Ubiquity comes with a set of commands that make common Web tasks faster and easier.

The commands that come with Ubiquity are just the beginning: anyone can create new commands and share them. Creating Ubiquity commands
