New version of LinkedIn’s FireFox Toolbar
One of my first posts on the blog was to announce the Outlook toolbar v2.2 in May 2007. This time around, I’m here to announce the next version of the Firefox browser toolbar, which is used by more than 100,000 of you. So, what’s new about this update you may ask. Well, we’ve updated support for the Info box in the latest versions of your favorite web mail including Yahoo, AOL, Hotmail, and Gmail (What is Info Box?). We’ve also updated support for the Jobs Insider for Monster, Hotjobs, Craigslist, CareerBuilder, Dice, and Vault.
For existing users of the toolbar these are bound to be welcome changes but for the uninitiated here are the benefits of using the Firefox toolbar. Isn’t having access to your LinkedIn network as you browse the web good enough?
You may have also noticed that in addition to looking up people instantly from any website and your web mail, the browser toolbar has a feature called the Jobs Insider. So, when all you job hunters view a job listing, the JobsInsider opens a side pane where you’ll automatically see your inside connections to the company whose job you’re looking at!
Still quizzical? Check out the FAQ section here.

We’d really love your feedback on the latest iteration of the toolbar. Feel free to either leave a comment on this post or email us at firefox_support@linkedin.com.

I’ve been using the Linkedin toolbar for Firefox for a while now. I must admit I have not used it to its full potential but I do use it and find it to be very convenient. Excellent work!

Yeah, I think that so far Firefox Toolbar was quite useful (to me at least).

I love the toolbar and Job Insider…Is there anyway that it could be added to Idealist?
