You may have thought Mozilla could not open up beyond its current state, but you may be wrong: Aza Raskin, Mozilla Labs' UX Lead and Sebastiaan de With, a freelance icon designer, have completely opened up the process of designing a new logo for Mozilla Ubiquity. The second round of conceptual exploration has just started, and the popular vote is very welcome on the blog or in the comments. What's your favorite concept, and why?

It seems like a great idea, but I wonder how tightly tied into specific services it would be? For example, when looking up maps, I'm assuming it's using Google Maps? I know many people prefer Mapquest.

In the video you can see that you can easily add new scripts. It shouldn't be a problem - if it gets popular- to find a script for your favourite services so it won't be tied to any service-provider.

I hope it will improve fast cause I like the add-on, but it slows down firefox on start-up. But it's still a 0.1 so I shouldn't complain.
