If you like a visual peek at the sites along with the URLs and text returned in searches, Snap Shots for Firefox will give you that. There are still a few glitches the publisher's need to work out, though.

Snap Shots for Firefox covers all the popular search sites: Yahoo Search, Wikipedia, and Google. There's no Help menu, but luckily, the program is very simple to operate. We tried it out on Google. When the search results appeared, a tiny caption box icon was displayed next to each link. Roll the mouse over the icon and a screenshot pops up. It's small but gives you the general idea, and it's linked to the site. Which brings us to the first thing the publishers need to look into. There is a setting option in the screenshot box to change the shot size, but we couldn't get it to work. Also, clicking outside of the screenshot box doesn't immediately close it, making it awkward to navigate around the Web page, especially if the link you want is under the box.

But don't let a few little kinks prevent you from giving this program a shot. If you're OK with the default window size for the screenshot, Snap Shots for Firefox does let you see a site before you visit.

Publisher's description

With Snap Shots Add-On for Firefox, you can bring the functionality of Snap Shots to the Web sites you surf every day, enhancing Firefox with the right content at the right place and time. When in you search in Google or Yahoo, mouse over the links and get videos for YouTube, summaries for Wikipedia articles, product descriptions from Amazon and more. Mouse over profiles in MySpace and see pictures and descriptions without clicking away from the page you're on.

Online encyclopedias like Wikipedia and Internet Movie Database become even more useful as links turn into summaries. Plus upgraded functionality on the major blog platforms, Xanga, Boing Boing, The Huffington Post, The Drudge Report, and many other sites. Snap Shots Add-On for Firefox turns ordinary links into inline videos, photo albums, summaries, member profiles, Wikipedia summaries, and stock charts. Version 1.3.2 includes unspecified updates.

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.
