“F1: The idea behind this add-on is to make sharing content as
simple as possible. Ever so often, we come across an article or
video that is so interesting that we want to share it with as many
of our friends as possible. To do that, we either have to install a
lot of add ons, or keep switching between different tabs. With F1,
Mozilla plans to simplify things by making the sharing feature a
part of the browser itself. Once you install F1, you can start
sharing content with your friends who are on Twitter, Facebook, or
Linkedin. If one of your friends is not that social-savvy then you
can mail that link to him/her without switching to another tab or
reloading the page. The most appealing thing about this extension
is that you can share almost anything with anyone just by hitting
one button, that is F1. Pressing F1 will pop up a small menu where
you can add your views about the link along with the shortened URL.
The service supports most of the major services like Twitter,
Facebook, Linkedin, Ymail, Gmail and even Google Apps.”
