It's a current mockup of a UI that appears to be copy-pasted directly from the website of a UI design company that put in a bid on this very project and was rejected.
At best, this was a gross and irresponsible move by Mozilla. And if it's not planned to be in the final product, it's also misleading.
- darrylring 17y agoIt doesn't say UI, it says Functionality. And it doesn't say Final Product, it says Mock-ups.
- lotharbot 17y ago"it doesn't say Final Product, it says Mock-ups" It's still irresponsible to use those images and that layout, after rejecting a bid by that design company to create images and layout for the product, even in a mockup.
- brandon272 17y agoIt is irresponsible, for sure. But is an appropriate reaction to set up a big witch hunt and publicly shame Mozilla? Is that how businesses and organizations should be treating each other? People make mistakes. Give them a chance to make things right before you try to do damage to someone's reputation.
- ErrantX 17y agoWould you hold the same opinion if microsoft had done this and not mozilla? (just asking)
- bbatsell 17y agoMozilla also recorded and released a lengthy video tutorial portraying and promoting the product, which entirely uses MetaLab's design, with absolutely no indication that the design is only an internal mock-up. (They have since made the video "private" on Vimeo, though it is still on all of their promotional material.)
