Mozilla has just released another experimental add-on for Firefox and other Mozilla based browsers: Contacts. This add-on brings your contacts to the browser, and saves them natively there. Users can search and browse their contacts in the browser, and websites can access contact information through an API. Hence, Firefox will now replace user’s contact managing tool.

This built-in contact manager will also help you by providing auto-completion feature. Users can import their existing contact database (so far, it supports Gmail, Twitter and Mac OS Address book only).

Mozilla describes this add-on as:

The Contacts add-on integrates with local and web-based address books to bring all of a user’s contact data into a single database, which can then be used by browser extensions or web content.  The user must grant permission before any content can be used by a website, and can choose exactly which fields and personal records to disclose.

This experimental add-on can be installed from the Contacts homepage at Mozilla Labs.
