Did you know that even Google has jumped onto the Firefox band waggon? Maybe it isn’t with both feet riding all the way to browser town, but it is a good start. There are many Google created and Google related toolbars and extensions for Firefox out there.
This is the same old Google Toolbar we once knew and loved when we were using Internet Explorer. It comes with all the fixings as well, such as: Spell Check, Auto Link, Auto Fill, Word Translator, Page Rank, and more! So if you want a lot of Google functionality right at your fingertips, the Google Toolbar is the way to go.
If you want to use the Google Toolbar, but want something that feels a little more “home grown” then you might check out the Googlebar. The Googlebar was created before Google released a Firefox version of its own Google Toolbar. It comes with lots of the same features, so you aren’t losing anything there. Some might even say it is better than the Google Toolbar!
This extension from Google made for Firefox is pretty cool. The extension enables you to send short text messages of Web page content to your mobile phone. For example, you might text message yourself a phone number, an address, or directions that you find on the Web.
Google Suggest for Firefox is an extension that completes your search terms as you type them into the search box located to the right of the address bar. I have always had fun playing with the Google Suggest features, I don’t however find it very useful though. Usually when I search for something, I know what I want to type in. I don’t need Google to hold my hand there.
Have any more Google related Firefox goodies that I might have missed? Let me know, and I’ll make sure I check them out and let you know what I think!
