Proposal for the New Firefox 4 Home Tab

Mozilla Labs is organizing a design challenge to create a new home tab for the upcoming Firefox 4. The new home will be using the users’ history information to produce a better user experience.

Firefox Home Tab Design Challenge

I was doing some user research asking people to show me their way of using their web browser and I was specially paying attention to the homepage. These are some of my findings:

- It is very important to have search functionality in the homepage. Users go there as an starting point to a new search.

- People like having relevant information in the homepage, like feeds coming from different websites or news coming from a particular source (e.g. Yahoo!).

- Many users get lost when using tabs. I’ve discovered that many don’t even know what a tab is, the potential of tab browsing is something unknown to many people.

Based on that I prepared my proposal for the design challenge:

It would be nice to get your comments!
