So Foxy!

My favorite browser has now been issued in a back-to-school campus edition. This version of Firefox comes preloaded with some terrific "must-haves."

Foxy Tunes. This firefox extension opens up and allows you to control your music player of choice right from the browser window. No more waiting for iTunes or Media Player to load. You can control the volume, track selection, and music info without ever leaving your browser.

Zotero.I'm sure I've blogged about Zotero before, but this Firefox extension is a real winner for marking, annotating, storing, and retrieving web sites related to a research project. You can export your Zotero library into any Word Processing application (plug-ins required for Word and Open Office) or even into RefWorks.

StumbleUpon. One of my all-time favorite sites for buttressing my store of useless information, this Firefox extension can take you to places you've never been before.


On a related note, check out this nifty trick from CyberNet News for displaying web sites in your Firefox sidebar!
