Have you ever dreamed of commanding the Web quite naturally as if you are chatting with a friend? Ubiquity, the new experimental Firefox extension,  gives you a powerful new way to interact with the Web.

How it Works?

You are used to tell Firefox where you want to go by typing the Web addresses into the URL bar. Now its time to tell what you want to do with Ubiquity. Just type built-in commands to tell Firefox what you want to do including sending an email to one of your contacts, or searching a term on the Web.

How to Add Ubiquity to Your Firefox?

• First install Ubiquity
• Once you are done, you can start Ubiquity by tapping option-space on the Mac, or control-space if you’re on Windows. Linux is not supported at the moment.
• You’ll then be presented with a transparent black box, with a blinking white cursor, in the upper-left of your browser.
• You can start giving Ubiquity a command by typing something in here and then hitting the Enter key.

Some Ubiquity Commands:

• Search Wikipedia : just type “wikipedia xxxxxxx” where xxxx is the term to be searched
• Send an email to one of your contacts : type “email xxxxx” where xxxx is the name of your contact
• Let’s imagine you have found an interesting quote in one of the Web pages while surfing, and wanted to share it with one of your friends by sending an email. You are free to select part of the page, including pictures, links, or anything else, and then send it to your friend as email. In that case you need to type “email this to xxxxx” where xxxx is the name of your contact. Simply amazing!
• Find a map : Imagine you are going to arrange a job interview session for 100 people, and you want to insert a map for easy access of the candidates.  In that case you need to type type out the address you want to map, then select it and issue “map”. In the preview, you’ll see a thumbnail-size map of the area (from Google Maps).  Then you can click the “insert map in page” link to insert the map into your email. So easy!

Conclusion:

It is one of the most exciting and promising Firefox extensions I have ever used. Easy to use, and huge time saver. A must have for Firefox lovers.
