Mozilla Labs' F1 sharing add-on updated with keyboard shortcut and auto-bookmarking

Mozilla Labs' F1 is a Firefox extension that enables quick sharing of links via Twitter, Facebook and Gmail. It sits right in your browser's toolbar and includes neat features like automatically inserting the shared URL into a new Gmail message and automatic link shortening for Twitter. The latest F1 update makes this add-on even more useful, with a keyboard shortcut to activate F1 -- just press the F1 button, naturally -- and the option to automatically bookmark the links you share.

F1 has also added some more ways to share: Yahoo! Mail and Google Apps email accounts are now supported. There's still no Google Reader support, unfortunately, but it's understandable that F1 sticks to a few services when Facebook and Twitter probably make up the bulk of the sharing via F1. There are other sharing add-ons for Firefox, of course, but F1 is extremely fast, and great for people who think Shareaholic is overkill.

Get the latest version of F1 by checking your Firefox add-ons for updates, or install it from the F1 page at Mozilla Labs.
