The new Rediff Toolbar for Firefox 3 allows users to search the web and enjoy access to popular vertical searches like Fare Search, Job Search, Product Search, Image search, video search, ringtone search and language search helping them to get the most of their searches.

The new toolbar also allows users to use the search bar as an address bar, where the toolbar intelligently identifies the ‘url’ keywords and takes them directly to the website instead of displaying search results. For example:  An input such as Rediff.com in the search bar will open up the website rediff.com rather than throw search result.

One of the unique features of Rediff toolbar available on both (for Internet Explorer and Firefox) is the quick access to all the latest updated news on business, sports, movies and cricket which users can get on the toolbar itself as snapshot view without having to actually visit any news site.

The new Rediff Toolbar for Firefox 3, works around the complex hard coded POP UP blocker feature inside a Firefox browser environment, allowing the user to conveniently use the pop up blocker feature from the toolbar itself instead of getting into the settings of Firefox 3.

In addition to this the Rediff Toolbars also offers the users quick access to all Rediff Services like Rediffmail, Rediff Bol the Instant Messenger amongst others. With this release, Rediff.com now provides consumer friendly Toolbar applications for all versions of both Internet Explorer and Firefox browsers compatible with windows operating system.

    I have tried many tool bars on several Websites. Each one has specific features and cannot combine and cannot asssociate with one another while brousing,I feel rediff is one of the most rusted site. The MSN,and the Google are the the most toughest mails to register for mails.For example, Google could not support to some extent. meanwhile avast stops and breaks in the middle, and stops me to register with bsnl portal
