Rediff's New Toolbar for Firefox 3

The new toolbar allows users to search the Web and access popular vertical searches for fares, jobs, products, images, videos, ringtones, and language.

Rediff.com has introduced a toolbar for Firefox 3. The new toolbar allows users to search the Web and access popular vertical searches for fares, jobs, products, images, videos, ringtones, and languages.

The new Rediff toolbar also allows users to use the search bar as an address bar, where the toolbar intelligently identifies the 'url' keywords and directs the user to the website instead of displaying search results.

Another feature of the toolbar, available on Firefox as well as Internet Explorer, is quick access to all the updated news on business, sports, movies and cricket; this is available on the toolbar itself as snapshot view without having to actually visit any news site.

The toolbar works around the POP UP blocker feature inside the Firefox browser environment, allowing users to conveniently use the blocker feature from the toolbar itself, instead of getting into the settings, says Rediff.

In addition, the toolbar offers access to all regular Rediff services like Rediffmail and Rediff Bol, the Instant Messenger. Though it's designed to compliment Firefox 3, the toolbar provides consumer friendly applications for all versions of both browsers, the Internet Explorer and Firefox.
