MAB makes it easy for Firefox users to look things up in Amazon?s catalogue. Click the MAB link in the Tools menu and type in what you are looking for with no need to visit the site.

If you find yourself constantly looking things up on Amazon, you can use MAB to easily search the site from your browser, without visiting it. Once it is installed in Firefox, click the MAB option in the Tools menu and a window will appear, with search options. You can even choose which of the six Amazon sites across the world you want to search.

You can search all the different departments (books, music, home and garden, and so on) and search by keyword, ISBN, author, title and other fields, as well as sorting the results in different ways. Click on a result and it will even display the cover or box image of the product, if there is one on the site, in addition to all the other details and reviews. Once you find what you want, click the Go to Amazon button to buy it.

You need Firefox installed for it to work, but other than that, it is a great little tool which can save you time.
