CNET Editors' review

by: CNET Staff on February 27, 2009

Frequent users of Mapquest will appreciate the one-click access this free Firefox toolbar will puts at their fingertips. What further sold us on this toolbar was the host of extras that came along with it.

Mapquest Firefox Toolbar fits snugly into your Firefox window. It features an AOL search field powered by Google. You won't find typical toolbar features, such as a pop-up blocker and e-mail notification, but it comes preset with colorful shortcut buttons for maps, directions, gas and traffic information. You can remove the preset buttons if you like, and pick from tons of other shortcut buttons for such popular sites as MySpace, YouTube, and Wikipedia. You can even add radio stations to the toolbar. Each button that we selected was instantly added to the toolbar, and each button took us to its respective Web site.

We liked the fact that there aren't any useless shortcut buttons, or wasted space on this toolbar. We highly recommend Mapquest Firefox Toolbar for all users.
