I’ve been using the latest version of Firefox released earlier today, trying out some new extensions. My favourite so far is Cooliris (v1.9), designed to let you preview and browse at the same time without losing your place. Once you’ve installed it, all you have to do is mouse over the link and it opens a preview pane without having to click on it. To keep it from being overzealous, I’ve set it to preview using the mouse over icon instead of just the mouse over, which can get annoying and bog you down if you’re trying to read something and there are a bunch of links on the page that the mouse can wander over. If you do a lot of browsing, tweak the options to suit you and it will likely improve your surfing experience.
