The steps for setting up any mail-merge document in OpenOffice are easy; the one potentially gnarly bit is creating your contacts database in the first place.

The newest Project of Mozilla labs was "Weave". It allows the user to save his browser settings on Mozilla servers (Favorites, sessions ,passwords...etc..) and be able to load it wherever he is.

I was googling to find a solution to an issue with Thunderbird and Dovecot IMAP server and accidentally hit with an interesting Thunderbird extension viz Google Contacts. For a long time, I was searching for a solution to synchronize my Gmail address book and Thunderbird address book.

Mozilla Labs has launched a new project, simply called Mozilla Labs Gaming, aimed at helping tame developers create games for the web using open web technologies, such as HTML5, WebGL and fast JavaScript engines

One important area for exploration is the blending of the desktop and the Web through deeper integration of the browser with online services. We’re now launching a new project within Mozilla Labs to formally explore this integration..."

A few months ago Mozilla embarked on a quest to determine a way to make new browser tabs more useful. Today Mozilla's Aza Raskin shared some of the team's conclusions, based on user feedback.

"Today Mozilla Labs is announcing a new experiment called Prism. Over the last few months I’ve had a chance to contribute to many of the initial user facing design aspects of Prism, and this is one of the most exciting labs projects I’ve had a chance to work on so far at Mozilla...
