Wednesday, March 28, 2007
Deal is a collaboration on new technology approaches
Mozilla and eBay International AG today announced they are working together to improve the online auction experience for people in France, Germany and the United Kingdom.
In an official release, Mozilla and eBay said they are collaborating on new technology and approaches to enable eBay users to stay up to date with their auctions more easily from within Firefox regardless of where they are on the Web.
"We are excited to work with eBay to improve the online auction experience with Firefox," said Christopher Beard, Mozilla vice-president, marketing and product management. "Firefox provides a robust platform for integration with leading Web services, which we’re pleased to extend through our partnership with eBay."
"We are thrilled to be working with Mozilla and to explore a great opportunity that benefits both our communities of users," said Harald Eisenächer, vice-president and chief marketing officer for eBay in Germany. "Our work together will help the great community of Firefox users more easily use eBay and stay up to date with their auctions."
Mozilla and eBay will provide more details on their collaboration in the second calendar quarter of 2007.
Will this partnership yield benefits for eBayers who browse with Firefox in the States? eBay spokesperson Catherine England told Ina Steiner of AuctionBytes: "We'll be announcing more details about our collaboration with Mozilla later this year. We don't have additional details to share at this time."
For the uninitiated, Mozilla's Firefox browser is popular with those who have found it less prone to crashing than Microsoft's Internet Explorer. Its architecture has given it a reputation for being more secure that IE. We really love Firefox here at ATR. As you see on the left of the page just below our contact info: "This site is best viewed in Mozilla Firefox or Safari. Internet Explorer CSS layout problems are not supported." We don't quite know what all that means, but for the best ATR experience, we recommend Firefox.
