Juice brings a smart research toolbar to Firefox

Juice is a Firefox add-on that makes it easier to go off on browsing tangents and get more information on things you find on the web, without opening new windows or browser tabs. When you highlight and slightly drag text from webpages, Juice pops open a sidebar that shows you relevant entries from Wikipedia, Amazon.com and more. That way, you never have to leave a tab to look something up. You can also watch videos - and even playlists - in the Juice sidebar.

You can also set Juice as your default search engine in Firefox - or just start Google queries with "juice" - to see your search results in Juice instead of in your main tab. On top of its usefulness as a multitasking tool, Juice also connects with Facebook, so you can share links and media from the sidebar. Unfortunately, Juice doesn't really reveal how it does its magic, and there's no way to add or subtract from the list of sites it searches. Even with a lack of customization, though, you'll love Juice if you hate opening new tabs for quick research tasks.
