Helpful Firefox add-on

I've found Cooliris Previews to be an excellent help when reading posts in the JREF Forum.

Just thought I'd share.

Excellent tool. Thanks for sharing!

I installed something similar over a year ago (may have been Cooliris) but had some issues with it and had to uninstall it. Then I decided to give it another try a few months ago but couldn't remember what it was called and just searched in vain.

Very useful for peeking into a thread to see if it needs tagging.

OK, now can you tell me how to get my hotmail in Thunderbird since they went to Windows Live Beta? I can get all my other accounts, but even adding the domain names "live.com", etc hasn't worked.

Good one, Moochie!

Further to the above, OP, another useful Firefox add-on is Grab and Drag -- it gives you Acrobat Reader-type functionality. Especially useful if you don't have a scroll wheel.

Oh, now that's good. That's really good. I especially like that you have to linger on the little blue thingie, rather than having it open the popup wherever I linger.

Thanks, Mooch!

I think the blue box is a relatively new feature.. Or at least.. I've had Cooliris installed for quite awhile, but disabled (I still used the Cooliris context-menu searching) because it got so horribly annoying. Maybe I didn't have it configured properly or something, but I do like the blue thingie.

If you're only interested in the context menu search, you don't really need Cooliris for that.
There are a few much small extensions that offer this functionality also, e.g. Word Research or Dictionary Search
