New Browser Buttons
July 11th, 2007
We just released the Firefox Extension and Internet Explorer Add-On for Wishlisting!
What each of these does is provide a simple installation of the browser button, without having to drag a bookmarklet to your toolbar or any of that. When you’re done, you’ll end up with a shiny new button in your toolbar which you can use to add stuff to your wishlist from anywhere.
In Firefox, you can decide if you want the button:
- In the toolbar at the top (default)
- In the statusbar at the bottom
- In the tools menu of the browser
In Internet Explorer the button will show up in the toolbar at the top, as well as in the “tools” menu.
On both platforms, the buttons are fully uninstallable. The Firefox extension uses the built-in firefox uninstall mechanism, and the Internet Explorer add-on can be removed via the “Add/Remove Programs” control panel in Windows.
One of the biggest pain points for people has been getting the browser button installed, and we’re hoping this will resolve a good chunk of those difficulties.
Getting the next big push of features out has taken longer than expected, but we’re on the home stretch now. Look for a post from me next week!
