How to Supercharge Firefox With Bookmarklets
Bookmarklets are small JavaScript applications contained within a browser bookmark. When the bookmark is selected, the JavaScript code is executed upon the web page displayed in the browser. Bookmarklets can add a great deal of functionality to your Firefox browsing by enabling you to interact with and modify web pages with a single mouse click. Since these applications are stored in bookmarks, they do not require installation like Firefox add-ons and do not slow down your browsing experience. With the right bookmarklets, you can accomplish much of what is offered by Firefox add-ons without adding extra heft and supercharge your browsing experience.
