Had a friend tell me about an awesome add-on for Firefox, called Bookburro. Basically what it does is if it detects that the page you are viewing has a book in it (or is about a book), it pops up a little thingy in the upper left-hand corner of the page which you can click on. When you click on it, a little menu drops down searching for and then listing the prices of the book on different websites (you can indicate which ones). Pretty awesome, huh? Get it at bookburro.org.
Oh, and note that you will have to give the site permission to install it in firefox - just follow the instructions on the little thingy that pops down at the top of your browser.
Here's a list of all the other Firefox Add-ons I use and love:
Download Statusbar - this is just a better way of managing your downloads than Firefox's native way.
Foxmarks Bookmark Synchronizer - This is especially awesome if you use Firefox on multiple computers. Just install it in each Firefox installation and it will synch up your bookmarks and links bar whenever you use 'em. Prett snazzy, huh?!
Random Theme Switcher - Okay, this is just because I enjoy different themes and am too lazy to switch 'em myself. Pretty much it just randomly chooses a theme every time you start up Firefox. I enjoy it because I never know what Firefox is gonna look like! (it keeps things interesting...)
Google Notebook - I just enjoy this for collecting random stuff from all over the web. I've also used it for some research for school projects.
MediaPlayerConnectivity - this is primarily to play streamed media in Ubuntu, but it does give you more control over what your browser does with media links on a page (and more options).
Colorful Tabs - really the most simple concept, but really awesome. basically this just makes your different tabs different colors, and you can assign specific colors to specific sites if you want to.
So there ya go - my favorite add-ons for Firefox. Let me know if there are any you suggest!
