MyLinkShares Firefox Add-on

I've developed a MyLinkShares Firefox Add-on. The Add-on's job is to enable you to share websites with your friends and family without having to copy the URL from the address bar, go into your email client, start a new email, embed the link, etc. etc...

The MyLinkShares Add-on accomplishes this by giving you a little button that can be placed on your favorite Firefox toolbar that will do the dirty work for you.

The button collects the URL and Page Title of the page you're looking at, opens a new MyLinkShares tab and fills out the Link(s) and Subject box for you - no need to cut and paste.

Simply fill out the To box with your recipient's email address or addresses, provide a From email address (so your recipients know who it's from), fill out the ReCaptcha challenge, and press the Send... button. Your recipients will receive an email with a clickable link to the website you were just looking at, as well as some information as to why they are receiving the link.

To install this button follow these directions.


1) Go to www.mozilla.com


2) Click the Add-ons link




3) Type mylinkshares into the search box and click Enter




4) Click the Add to Firefox button. Note: Because MyLinkShares is still in the Firefox Sandbox you have to have a Mozilla.com account to install - a free and quick action.




5) Follow the install instructions


6) Click View -> Toolbars -> Customize...


7) Drag the MyLinkShares button to your favorite toolbar then click the Done button




8) While you're surfing, to use MyLinkShares just click the button!




Note:

At first I wanted to auto-add the button to your main Firefox toolbar, but I thought that might be kind of rude. That's why I make you go through the trouble of adding the button through the Customize Toolbar dialog box. That way you can add the button to whatever toolbar you want.
