Wednesday, Jul 6, 2011

Passport? Check. Tickets? Check. Add-ons? Check…

If you’re heading abroad for your summer vacation (or winter vacation for those in the southern hemisphere), you may want to check out the new Travel Collection, a set of great Firefox Add-ons that will help you get the most out of your trip.

Whether you’re yet to book, still researching tours and itineraries or wondering what the small print in Spanish says on the confirmation for the villa you’ve booked, we’ve got you covered.

If you’re ready to dive in, you can check out the collection here.

  • Flagfox tells you the country location of the website you’re visiting and provides safety checks, translation and URL shortening, among other useful features.
  • If you’re yet to travel and are still researching flights, InvisibleHand automatically updates you with the lowest prices via discreet notifications from over 589 airlines.
  • If you’re crossing time zones, it’s easy to lose track of what time it is where you are, never mind back home! FoxClocks keeps an eye on the time for you and adds convenient clocks to your toolbar for each location.
  • On a website that’s not in your language? No problem! BabelFish Instant Translation can help out by translating individual words or a whole site just by clicking or highlighting the relevant text.
  • Need to find the exact location of your hotel, a tourist attraction or beach? Minimap Sidebar lets you search for locations from the page you’re on in a convenient sidebar.
  • If you’ve taken holiday snaps on your vacation, Fotofox lets you drop images from across the Web into photo albums. You can then tag, title and export them to a number of online photo services.
  • Thinking about keeping a blog of your travels? Scribefire integrates with Firefox so you can blog right from the page you’re browsing.
  • Deep Web Search Engine lets you search and compare prices for flights, car rental, cruises, hotels and vacation packages. If you’re technically minded and know JavaScript, you can even add your own search categories and websites for comparison.
