A9.com, a subsidiary of Amazon.com, released the A9 Toolbar for the Mozilla Firefox Web browser.
A9.com users who prefer Mozilla Firefox for browsing the Web can now take advantage of A9.com's full set of innovative search technologies such as Bookmarks, Site History, A9 Lists and the A9 Diary, which are available through the A9 Toolbar. The A9 Toolbar for Mozilla Firefox can be downloaded in two minutes by clicking on "toolbar" on the A9.com home page and can run on Microsoft Windows, Macintosh, and Linux operating systems.
"Offering the A9 Toolbar for Mozilla Firefox was among the most requested features we received from users since we launched A9.com a month ago," said A9.com CEO Udi Manber. "We are pleased to answer their feedback with this release and make it possible for millions more people to access the full power of A9.com to discover and manage information."
A9.com helps users discover information from many different sources, manage and organize their search results, and remember what they have done in the past. The site includes several innovative search technologies, although not all are available without downloading and running the A9 Toolbar. Using the A9 Toolbar allows users to access the following features:
-- Search and Site History -- view and edit past search results and sites visited.
-- A9 Diary -- record, save and references notes about any Web page.
-- Bookmarks -- save favorite web sites and access them from any computer.
-- Lists -- browse search results or other lists of links with a single click.
-- A9 Search -- enter search queries from any Web page.
"We are thrilled that A9.com has created a toolbar for the Firefox browser to enhance the user experience for A9.com customers," said Chris Hofmann, Director of Engineering at the Mozilla Foundation. "This shows the growing popularity of Firefox among Amazon.com and A9.com users, and demonstrates the power of developing on the Mozilla platform."
More than 7 million copies of the Firefox Preview Release have been downloaded from the Mozilla site at www.mozilla.org since September. The Mozilla Foundation provides organizational, legal, and financial support for the Mozilla open source software project.
