After establishing a Guiness World Record with the release of their Firefox 3 browser, now Mozilla Labs is starting a new, more ambitious project. Since the release of the first details about Firefox 3, many have wondered what more a browser could do than it does already.

But apparently, there is still room for a lot of improvements and Mozilla is turning again to its users to learn what they wish, need or even dream about the perfect browser.

Introduced on Mozilla’s Blog, the Concept Series intends to become a place where people from around the world can share their ideas or opinions about the future of web technologies.

As Mozilla noted, anyone can send an idea, a mockup or even a prototype about how the future browser should look.

Mozilla has already presented three initiatives: the Aurora Concept, the Bookmarking & History Concept and the Mobile Concept.

Each video offers some interesting ideas and insights on how a future browser should work and how people will use the unleashed power of web technologies, but Aurora is stealing the show.

It is hard to sum up the seven minutes videos in just a few phrases, so maybe it’s better to watch them for yourself here and post your thoughts about the ideas presented.

However, Mozilla’s decision to involve the people in the creation of their new browser is an interesting marketing move and, on the other hand, could generate a lot of good suggestions.

In a world in which the tech trend is shifting from PCs to the online services, having a lot of people involved in building a new browser could make the difference. Especially since Mozilla is fighting against Internet Explorer.

However, it remains to be seen what the future will bring from and for The Concept Series.
