Wicked site man. I really like the theme you used. Is it a free one?

That seems like a great add on for people who want to make web browsing more effective. I am constantly going in and out of my email so it would be nice to simply just press a key and have it up and running.

wow! This is definitely a time saver!
I was looking around a similar plugin but end with speed dial. This plugin is much more powerful. Thanks for the recommendation.
P.S. It seems I need establish a special page to store these shortkeys otherwise I would forget them.

Hi K. I left a question about using Firefox applications with Flock last night and I came back this morning to see if you had answered and the comment was not here. Did I get spam filtered? I hope not because I like your information and would like to continue to comment. Thanks Andys last blog post..MLM Email Leads for Enlyten Network Marketing

Hi Alys,

First off, thanks for stopping by and taking the time to share your comment. I agree this is not significantly better than the native hack you can in Firefox to achieve this.

But, I think it’s just me that I can’t remember the simplest keywords I set up in my bookmarks. To look at them in the folder, I have to reach my mouse. I have become so addicted to using Enso Launcher for Windows that I am starting to like this even if I have to add an extension to it.

But, I don’t think everyone has a 3GB RAM to add a lot of extensions to Firefox like I do and your points should definitely help them.

JR & Madhur, glad you like it!

Another added knowledge. I’ll check the actual usage of this launcher. Acts like an automatic site finder huh. No more time-wasted.

Is this really significantly better than just creating a bookmark for each of your favourite sites and assigning a one- or two-letter keyword to it? You then do CTRL+L (to put focus on the location bar), type the key letter(s), and hit the keyboard’s Enter key.

It’s only very slightly less convenient than CTRL+Space plus key letter or Alt+Shift+keyletter, and doesn’t require you to install and configure an experimental extension.

The extension’s ability to show you all of your favourite sites and their key letters at once is nice, but you can achieve the same thing by putting all of your favourite sites into a single bookmark folder or assigning a specific tag to them. In addition, since you’re using the sites often, you’d quickly remember the bookmark keywords you’d assigned to them and you wouldn’t need an easy reminder for them.

Bookmarks are much easier to back-up and to migrate to a different computer, compared to extension settings (especially since this extension doesn’t (yet) have an import/export feature).

This sounds really great, I usually have my usual sites in the bookmarks toolbar and so I still have to navigate down a long list. Will definitely check this out.
Thanks K!
