SiteLauncher

CNET Editors' review

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.

From DoneSmart:

SiteLauncher is an add-on for Firefox that gives you a super-quick and clutter-free way to to open your favorite Web sites using only your keyboard. One special hot key 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.

What's new in this version: Version 1.6.4 includes Important fix of bug causing French and Chinese language versions of SiteLauncher not to function.
