iMacros for Firefox
| I’ve been using Firefox for years now, and more than most people at that. And for a long time, I’ve been a big fan of Mozilla add ons. There are a few add ons that always make it into my Firefox install. Foxmarks, Colorful Tabs, and FlashGot just to name a few. But, I found and add on today that may very well revolutionize how I use my web browser. |
It’s called iMacros and if you’re a geek like me, you’ll already have an idea of what it does just based on the name. Remember the days of VB macros in MS office? Well, welcome iMacros to the stage. Much like we can automate redundant, menial tasks in Office or in Photoshop, iMacros lets you automate tasks that you need to do frequently in Firefox. The best thing, it’s limitations are almost nonexistent. Essentially anything you can do in Firefox, you can let iMacros do for you. For example:
When I arrive at work in the morning, there are several web-based systems which I need to log in to. With iMacros, instead of manually opening up a separate tab for each system and logging in, I simply click one button and iMacros takes care of the rest. All I do is sit back and watch as iMacros logs me in to my time clock, billing system, ticket system, and company wiki. It’s like a piece of butter. … … … Okay maybe not like butter… … … now that I think about, I don’t know what I meant by that.
