Google Reader Notifer: Firefox add-on of the day

Normally I always have two tabs open in Firefox; one for Pandora and the other for Google reader. I would always have to go back and forth between both tabs in order to refresh reader, sort of an obsessive compulsive thing. But now, with Google Reader Notifier, I can just camp out on the Pandora tab until I get some new stories.

The reason I no longer need to go to my reader tab is because a built in function lets you click on the Google Reader Notifier icon to refresh the number of unread stories. A slick feature of this notifier is that you can customize your mouse buttons to do different things, such as update your count as well as open Google reader in a new tab. You also have the option of customizing how often it refreshes. Another great feature is that the count will give the exact number, even if it is above 100.

Thanks Ben!
