Add Firefox Web-Games to Firefox

[Suggestions4Me1]

This is my second suggestion post, so don't expect this one to be perfect.

Hello Firefox!

Today I'm here to show a new feature that I can make a lot of reasons on why it's a good addition to Firefox:

Firefox Web-Games.

What will Firefox Web-Games be like? Good you asked, because Web-Games is a feature that can be added into Firefox via the internal address about:games or Home Page --> Right click --> Open Firefox Web-Games. This feature will be a great addition to Firefox for a multitude of reasons, such as:

• Entertainment, even if you're offline: By adding a built-in system full of games that can be played anywhere, amusement on the Firefox browser will not really die out (unless you get bored at the game). On a long road trip? Just type in "about:games" into your address bar and enjoy the games prebuilt into Firefox!
• If you have nothing to do: Bored at just searching up random stuff on the Internet? Maybe just have some fun by taking a break with the Web-Games. In fact, studies show that the right games might help flourish mental health [1]. But wait! There's more reasons!
• Keeping up with competitors: Most competitors to Firefox have games integrated into them: Chrome has the infamous Dinosaur Game (Link to it if you want to try it [CHROME ONLY]), Edge has a few games that you can play, and many more examples. However, if Firefox adds Web-Games, users may enjoy the entertainment that the games provide, which provides more satisfaction from them, and hence, this is one of the effects of adding this feature into Firefox.

Game Concepts

I also do have ideas for Firefox to use for their games if they add this feature:

• Space Invaders: A classic game about shooting alien spaceships with your own spaceships. Endless.
• BEET: A rhythm game where you play as a beet in a garden. Hide from the farmers, escape. Splitted into Levels.
• Halls of the Usurper: An online game where you start out as a peasant and must promote yourself to a royal. Rather it be through marriage, bloody arena fights, or promoting yourself if a royal dies.

I would be happy to add mock-ups, but I kinda suck at making them, so I don't feel confident. And I have a question to the reviewers of this: Am I copying someone else? I'm just wondering right now if my idea accidentally copied someone else.

THANKS FOR READING! 😁

Thanks for submitting an idea to the Mozilla Connect community! Your idea is now open to votes (aka kudos) and comments.

While I wouldn't install Firefox for a game, and I'm not opposed to adding games to Firefox, I personally find Chrome's dinosaur games too exciting, so if Firefox is going to add games, I'd like to see them be milder, with no scoring system.

I have an idea for the game: organize the room.

When you start the game, you'll be in a messy room that looks like a fox's/panda's den (but with human necessities), and the degree of messiness will vary depending on how much Firefox the user (the player) is using. For example, the more pages Firefox has open, the more pages are stuck to the windows; the more bookmarks, the more cluttered the folders containing bookmarks; the more cookies, the more and more full the cookie jar becomes (the size of each cookie varies depending on the size of the cookie from the website it represents); and the longer it's been since Firefox has been used or updated, the more buggy the room will be ( The longer Firefox goes unused and unupdated, the more bugs there are in the room (inspired by Animal Crossing).

Simply put: the game visualizes the user's (the player's) traces of Firefox usage (so a user who has just installed Firefox will only see an empty room), and whenever the user creates a new trace, the traces are scattered around the room as if they were randomly thrown away, and the player can tidy up the room as he or she sees fit (“tidy it up” or “make a mess of it”).

The advantage of this game is that the player (user) can reminisce about their internet surfing experiences while organizing Firefox (a feature that only a browser can do).
The disadvantage of this game is: increase the size of Firefox, development costs (not something that only browsers can do).

These are the main features I've thought of, but I've also thought of some secondary features (internet connection required): using pictures and webpages from the internet as wallpaper for the room, posters (.gif) on the wall, embedding some components (you can see the number of people who have subscribed to YouTube, the number of stars on a Github project, the weather, the world time), and so on, and integrating the Pocket into the room as well.
