This is a cool add on, thought I would pass it on.


Cooliris Previews 2.0 for Firefox gives you the power to browse faster and send links instantly.

" Simply mouse over the Cooliris link icon, and a preview window will instantly appear to show you the underlying content. No more clicking back and both, or leaving your current page.

" To email a link instantly, just right-click on any web page.

" Right-click on any phrase to have Cooliris automatically do a subsearch in Google, Wikipedia, or a dictionary.

" Customize how and when you want the preview window to appear. (See our developer notes below)

Cooliris Previews 2.0 does not contain any adware or spyware whatsoever.

Nice! Already installed. This is sweet, you don't know how often I'm cut'n'pasting something to Google or Wikipedia to learn about it.

Good find Ron. That's what I love about Firefox, so many useful add ons.
Can't wait till the Blue Shift theme is updated to 2.0
Personally, I do not understand how a bunch of people demanding a bigger govt can call themselves anarchist.
I meet lots of folks like this, claim to be anarchist but really they're just liberals with pierced genitals. - gunsmith

Does CoolIris have any utility for an end-of-the-road dial up user?  A fast day here is 28.8kbps.  More often, I get 26.4kbps.  The add-on sounds as if it really depends on a high speed connection.

Well, I am tempted to delete that last post out of embarrassment:  the utility is only 57k so I downloaded it and tried it.  CoolIris seems to be slightly faster than to much faster than standard page changes with my current 26.4kbps connection.

Thanks for the tip!
