To celebrate the launch of the Mozilla Firefox – eBay Edition browser, eBay and Firefox held a party last night in London, which several hundred people attended. The browser includes the Firefox Companion for eBay which is more than just a toolbar.
When logged in to the Firefox Companion there are alerts to keep you informed of your eBay activity, even if you’re browsing another site. There are alerts for watched items, bidding activity and for sales – I like nothing better than to see another bid on my auctions or see a BUY IT NOW walk out of my eBay shop!
There’s also a sidebar where you can view all of your activity for bidding, watching and selling so that you can scroll though items you’re interested in without interupting your browsing.
Safety is a priority and with the eBay Companion you’ll know you’re on a genuine eBay page and not a spoof site or lookalike. You can see a full list of the features on the Mozilla website.
To conincide with the launch eBay are auctioning two laptops for Computer Aid International. Both laptops are high specification Apple MacBook Pro but each is unique. One has the eBay logo etched in the cover, and the other is identitcal but with the Firefox logo etching. Both laptops of course come preinstalled with Mozilla Firefox – eBay Edition to get you browsing straight away!
Why not put in a bid for either the Firefox Laptop or the eBay Laptop, or if not download the Mozilla Firefox – eBay Edition browser and check it out
