If you’re a Firefox fan, you probably won’t be surprised to know that you can customize the browser with Twitter-related extensions. These are mostly simple apps that show your friends’ tweets and let you post updates. Here are the three most popular Twitter extensions for Firefox.
1: TwitterFox- This extension (available from http://twitterfox.net/) adds a Twitter icon in the bottom-left corner of the Firefox window. After installing, click the icon to type your Twitter account credentials. Twitter Fox looks for new tweets every five minutes and then lets you know when new updates arrive. Click the Twitter Fox icon to see the tweets or post one of your own (see figure 8.22).
2: Power Twitter- This extension (get it directly from the Mozilla Downloads page at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/9591) is actually designed to enhance the Twitter.com site. Power Twitter adds new features to Twitter such as converting shortened URLs to their original addresses, showing images and videos within the tweet (see figure 8.23), adding buttons to share a photo and shorten a URL to the update box, adding a Search box in your sidebar, adding a retweet icon to each update, and integrating Twitter with Facebook.
TwitKit. This extension (get it here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6845) adds a sidebar to Firebox, as you can see in figure 8.24. It’s a pretty standard Twitter client that enables you to post updates, see your friends’ tweets (updated automatically; yes!); reply and favorite those tweets; and view lists of your
friends, followers, replies, and tweets.
