Firefoxit

April 23rd, 2006

Firefoxit is an extension to run widgets inside Firefox. It's still very early in development stages and there seem to be almost no widgets but it looks like a promising project.

At the moment you can only show Firefoxit widgets when your inside Firefox. Press F6 to activate the widget screen.

I think the extension needs a bit more on the aesthetics side, getting the widgets to show when not inside the browser, customization and compatibility with other widgets such as Dashboard and Opera.

A new beta is coming soon and it looks like development is continuing so this project could churn out a nice extension to rival Opera's widget support.
