Firefox add-ons ( part 2 )

Cooliris Previews

This add-on has been for a long time. Remember PicLens? Its from the same developer. Well, to summarize it, this add-on lets u to preview any website from any links by just hovering ur mouse pointer on the icon beside the link itself.

Sounds cool? A blessing for those who just want a quick preview and do not want to open many tabs at once. Well, the only drawback is like opening a new tab, u have to wait for the preview windows to load up the contents.

Quite unfortunately, the "stacking" feature is not working on Firefox 3. "Stack" is the only feature that makes it outstanding because u do not have to bookmark any pages, just "stack" it on the right side of the screen. Hope the coming updates will rectifies it!

Sounds complicated? U can view and download this at http://cooliris.com/site/firefox/. Check it out.




FoxyTunes

Do you listen to Music while surfing the Web?

FoxyTunes lets you control almost any media player and find lyrics, covers, videos, bios and much more with a click right from your browser itself. After installation, it sits on ur status bar on ur bottom right. Well, u can drag it to anywhere u like eventually.


For me, since my keyboard already have those media keys for music playback, I dun really need this add-on. Its for those who wants uninterrupted music and browsing at the same time! U can download this add-on here
