Mozilla Developing New Browser

STOP! No, it’s not a replacement for Firefox so relax. But the new Aurora is a concept browser bringing collaboration one step closer to simplicity. Aurora will take the experience from Facebook or MySpace and incorporate it into a browser interface. Check out the video and you immediately see how easy this puppy is going to be. In the article it states:
Let’s say you were in Japan and your business partner is in Ohio and you are working on a power point presentation. No need to e-mail the file back and forth. Using Aurora you could both work on the piece, view it discuss it, and make changes in real time. Call it extreme collaboration. Of course there are similar programs that allow us to work virtually on screens in another country, like Adobe ConnectNow and GoToMeeting, but this concept is built for the everyday browser, with a supposedly simple interface.
There appear to be no plans to go to market with this and no one is saying it will replace Firefox. For now it’s simply a concept to explore.
So what do you think of Aurora? Do you think think this browser concept has a place in the Mozilla family?
Comments welcome.

Surely you mean “it’s noT a replacement for Firefox”?
The Aurora video looks “interesting” but highly YMMV. The wireless credit-card-browser is cool…

That was one of your best post titles
You had me! I was ready for the newest thing. Cool idea none the less. I also posted about a new browser called flock: http://www.thesleepygeek.com/2008/08/01/flock-really-revoluntionary-or-just-good-use-of-the-word-social-as-in-a-social-browser/. Not by Mozilla but interesting none the less.
