Mozilla Updates Firefox Tool Ubiquity

Mozilla released an updated version of its browser command-line tool Ubiquity. Ubiquity allows Firefox users to open a command window and type commands that execute a series of actions, like a macro or script might do. For example, the command < code >email < message content, if any > to < username >@< domain>.com< /code > launches the user's e-mail client and populates the appropriate data fields with the specified address, message, and URL for the Web page active at the time the command line was invoked.


Users can subscribe to the Ubiquity Herd Command Feed, a sort of RSS feed for Ubiquity commands. Its aim is to make commands more discoverable, and it does so by adding the "herd" command.
