CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: Jessica Dolcourt on January 06, 2009

Here's a new way to launch a Web site: from your Firefox toolbar. With the Firefox extension Site Launcher, you can swap out your bookmarks for an overlay window of links you conjure at any time with a quick keyboard shortcut.

You customize your own list of go-to sites; a handful of presets helps streamline the process. Getting a further one-letter shortcut for each site, however, is the stroke of genius. Once we had those memorized, we skipped the menu entirely and pulled up new sites straight from the keyboard. A few visual options round out the extension.

Publisher's description

SiteLauncher is an add-on for Firefox that gives you a super-quick way to to open your favorite Web sites using only your keyboard. One special hotkey brings up the "Launcher" (see screenshot), followed by a unique key to launch a site. SiteLauncher is especially useful for opening Web sites you use often throughout the day, for example, many people would probably want to add Google, Gmail, Facebook, and Twitter to SiteLauncher --what sites to include is entirely up to you. SiteLauncher is also good for minimizing clutter, because the Launcher only appears when you press the hotkey. If you have problems installing: save the downloaded file to your desktop, then drag the file into an open Firefox window to trigger installation process.

CNET Editor's Note: The Download Now link will prompt a local download of the Firefox extension. To install the extension directly, open the file using your Firefox browser.
