Hello!
Thank you for blogging and trying out Cooliris Previews. We really appreciate it, and are glad you are finding it useful.
I wanted to let you know we’ll soon be releasing our 1.8.5 version for Firefox within the week. (We actually have it on our site right now, but are doing some last minute fixes before submitting to the Firefox add-on website).
The new Firefox 1.8.5 will give you the ability to send links instantly by right-clicking from any webpage not just from within the previewer. We’ve also added a bunch of preference settings:
— Set delay for preview window pop up
— Choose method for opening preview
- Mouseover (default)
- CTRL-mouseover
- 1-click
- Click Preview icon
Thanks, again!
Best regards,
Alec and the Cooliris Team
