Get File Browser in Firefox 3 using Firefly

Few minutes back I came across an awesome addon for Firefox known as Firefly. It allows users to have access to a comprehensive file manager within Firefox which can be used to view, open, edit, delete, move and rename files. It’s easy to use and reduces wastage of time as well. When you start Firefly you get a page with all drives in it. You can also add other drives and folders of your choice. As Firefox searches for available devices at startup you don’t need to add drives and optical drives.
