If you spend all day sitting at a computer with your web browser open, you might have an aversion to minimizing your browser to perform simple tasks like managing files on your hard drive. Fortunately there's a Firefox add-on that can help.
Firefly adds a full-featured file manager to Firefox. And when we say full featured, we mean it. Firefly includes a bunch of features that you won't find in Windows Explorer. Here are just a few:
- Split the window horizontally or vertically. Add as many windows as you'd like
- Image previews for audio, video, PDF, and image docuements
- Filter display using regular expressions or wildcards
- Search the current folder and subfolders
- Create keyboard shortcuts
- Use the Firefox or Internet Explorer rendering engine (when using IETab)
You also get all the usual features you'd expect from a file manager including the ability to copy, cut, and paste files from one folder to another.

Looks super, but I get: "This add-on is for older versions of Firefox"

Windows Explorer in Windows Vista is way better. Then get IE Tab for Firefox 3 that allows you to use Windows Explorer in FF# and also allows you to toggle between FF view ns IE view. great plugin.

It screwed my Firefox!!! After every restart, it adds another empty Firefly toolbar, which I can't disable! Even after uninstalling the add-on. Now I need to reinstall Firefox... :(
Use with caution! Maybe it wont happen to you, but it did to me, so I just want to give a friendly warning.

It would be great, if it weren't so old it only works on Firefox 1.5 to 2.0. It doesn't even look like they've touched the thing in ages.
