The Mozilla Amazon Browser provides a rich interface
for searching Amazon with features not found in
existing HTML-based interfaces, and it highlights the
potential for remote Mozilla-based applications to
improve the capabilities and user experience of
Internet applications. Mozilla provides XUL, an
application-centric layout language with both basic
and complex form controls, web services support for
communicating and exchanging data with remote
applications, cross-platform support, and many other
features. It is an excellent framework for building
the next generation of remote Web applications.
