Our favorite online bookmarking tool, del.icio.us, has just announced the release of a hot new Firefox add-on. Ok, so it's not too hot, apparently del.icio.us quietly released this one to the public a little while ago but just decided now to update it and let everyone know about it now.

The del.icio.us Firefox add-on allows users to create, manage, and search all bookmarks right in the browser bar. The big noticeable change is the speed. del.icio.us has bumped up the power and greatly increased the rate at which bookmarks can be made, read and accessed. Users now have full control over their synced del.icio.us accounts with tagging abilities inside Firefox.

del.icio.us is a great way to store all of you bookmarks in one location that can be accessed anywhere you are. This is a great improvement that old users are going to be thankful for, and will hopefully encourage more people to try their great bookmarking service out. Check out the tour of the new features here.
