   The “webmailcompose” link goes to “foxyvoice”. I couldn’t find it anywhere on the firefox extensions site. Could you please fix the link?

   Thanks!

   Here is one I forgot to cover in class or include on the page: Signature. This extension lets you store and retrieve short text information when you’re filling out forms. Let’s say you like to have a certain signature at the end of emails, but only when writing to certain people. You may not want to include it in a signature file within your email program, but you would like to have easy access to it avoiding the need to retype every time. Just right click and choose the Signature of interest. Note that this will only work for mail applications you access through Firefox such as GMail, Yahoo! and Hotmail, to name a few. It will also work with other forms on Web sites.

   I had some bad luck getting to the link to the bugmenot extension. So just in case, here’s another link that did work for me:
