Mozilla: Help Build Firefox Extensions

Mozilla has put out a call for developers to help extend the features of its Firefox browser through a new program called "Extend Firefox." The company hopes that the contest will bring hundreds of new extensions to the browser, and further solidify its role as the de facto alternative to Internet Explorer.

Three grand prize winners of the contest will receive a special edition Firefox PC and a prize pack, while eight runner-ups win an iPod Nano and O'Reilly books. The contest is scheduled to end on January 6, 2006. Interested developers can learn more about the categories at the Extend Firefox Web site.
