Remix & Hack the Firefox Homepage

If you are a Firefox desktop user, you may have seen the default home page. This page contains a default engine web search and quick links to downloads, bookmarks, history, add-ons, sync and settings.

I was approached by the Mozilla Foundation Engagement team to brainstorm how this space could be used in an innovative way to educate Firefox users about the Maker Party. Maker Party is Mozilla's global campaign to teach the web, uniting educators, organizations and enthusiastic web users with hands-on learning and making. I saw this as an interesting opportunity for Mozilla to show (vs. tell) what Maker Party is all about. Site visitors had the chance to change the background color of the page using a little CSS.
