Aza Raskin writes, “Designing at Mozilla is an interesting process: We are committed to doing design in the open and involving community in a fundamental capacity, yet we must avoid design by committee. For the latest round of user experience iterations for Firefox Mobile, Madhava Enros and I are recording our discussion sessions. It’s an experiment, so I have a couple of questions: 1) is this a useful thing to do — do you find value in seeing our unfiltered face-to-face meetings, and 2) in what ways could we make it more valuable to you?” Aza and Madhava have posted two videos so far: Preferences, Add-ons, and Downloads in Fennec, and In-page Find in Fennec. They’re looking for feedback, so if you have anything to add, leave comments on the blog posts.

The latest about:mobile newsletter reports that the latest milestone of Fennec — Mozilla’s new mobile effort that is in the early development stages — is now available. “We’ve made the sixth milestone release of Fennec. Fennec M6 includes a couple of major features. It has initial support for a tab-like interface, support for ‘mailto:’ and ‘tel:’ urls, and some stability fixes vs. M5.” More information is available in the release notes, and Mark Finkle has written a post about this latest release.
