The Firefox 4 Home Tab Design Challenge Moves to the Second Phase

Voting on the home tab design of the upcoming Firefox 4.0 is moving to the second phase after the initial response meant that Mozilla was quickly able to choose the top ten designs out of the 47 submissions. Now, it's time to pick out a winner, so Mozilla is asking people to submit their votes yet again. In this second round, voters will be able to rank three of the ten remaining submissions on a scale from one to five.

"On the back of our announcement from Friday, we finished the first round of voting in the Mozilla Labs ‘The Home Tab’ Design Challenge, identified the Top 10 concepts and moved them into a second round of voting. In the second round we will once again ask the wider community to cast their vote – this time on three randomly selected concepts out of the top 10. Voting will be open until midnight March 1st," Mozilla Labs announced.

Those who participated in the first round will be able to keep their login credentials and email addresses to vote in the second round as well. If you're new, all you need to do is to submit your email address and then confirm it, watch out for spam filters not letting Mozilla's confirmation request email through, and that's it, you're all set to cast your votes.

With just three concepts to choose from, people should have a better chance of focusing on them to make a more informed decision. And the maker is keeping it interesting by promising "a fat Mozilla swag-pack" to five more people on top of the ones already chosen in the first round.

Along with the announcement, Mozilla also released some stats from the first stage, 1,187 people ended up submitting their votes, though almost double that registered. With 5,390 votes, each design submission got 112 votes, which the company says should be enough. Now, don't waste any more time and go to the voting page to have your say in the design of Firefox 4.
