A couple of useful Backpack Add-ons for Firefox

If you use Backpack and Firefox you may want to check out the Backpack Pages Add-on.

The Backpack Pages add-on allows you to click a button in Firefox to reveal all your Backpack pages in a pulldown menu. Select a page and you'll go right to it in Backpack. It's sort of like the My Pages screen in Backpack, but it's always with you -- even when you aren't logged into Backpack.

Another cool add-on is Backpack Publish. This add-on allows you to highlight text in your browser and click the Backpack Publish button to post the selected text to a Backpack Note, Todo List Item, or Reminder.

This is really handy for collecting little bits of data as you browse the web. It's especially great for research projects where you find a bunch of stuff all over the place. Just "publish" it to Backpack with the add-on and you'll never lose it.
