Ubiquity, the new Firefox extension released by Mozilla Labs really brings your browser to the next level. This is clearly another important sign that something huge is happening and we are moving to a digital world where the only app that you will need is your browser.

For those who use a Mac everyday Ubiquity is not really a news, since I guess everyone is familiar with the popular launcher QuickSilver. On the other hand, Ubiquity seems to be more integrated with the web, making many useful and popular web services much closer to the final users.

Here are two simple examples where I used Ubiquity to show me a map of Palo Alto and to show me a translation from italian to english:

I really like it and the ability to create new commands by users will make this a must have in any Firefox installation. What’s next?

You can install Ubiquity from this link.
