Mozilla labs has released some details about project Coop, an attempt to transform the browser into a social network. The product will allow Firefox users to “subscribe” to friends in the browser along with avatar representation, display them in the sidebar, share and send content and webpages.

Firefox now owns 11.8 percent of the global browser market share, said Net Applications, a jump of .5 percent from July's 11.3 percent. Internet Explorer, meanwhile, now accounts for 83 percent of browsers used to surf the Web; that's down from July's 83.5 percent
Mozilla’s Firefox Web browser continues to burn a path into Microsoft’s house--the PC.
The open source Web browser software is gaining on Microsoft's Internet Explorer, amassing 11.3% of the global browser market, up from 9.5% at the beginning of the year, according to Web traffic tracking from Net Applications. IE’s share slid from 85.3% in January to 83.6% in July.
In the U.S., Firefox’s claim is even larger, with 15.8% in July up from 14.1% at the end of last year, according to Web analytics firm OneStat.
