Now-a-days, it is a very common trend to put 'share this' buttons and widgets floating all around the blog posts or articles with a view that people would click on those and share the said post with others on various social networking and bookmarking sites. But, many a times such widgets fails to deliver positive results and in turn creates some commotions among the readers which leads to frustration on sighting so many such buttons cluttered around the websites body or sidebars. With a view to reduce this effort by webmasters and blog owners of maintaining varying positions of all those share buttons, Mozilla Messaging group has today launched a new Firefox extension called F1 which will allow the users to share contents with others through Gmail,.Facebook or Twitter right from the browser itself.



Currently the F1 extension will be using the three service namely Twitter, Facebook and Gmail for its first phase of launch and may eventually add some other service as well. One simply needs to get their respective accounts connected and they will be ready enough to share any contents they are viewing by simply pointing their cursor and clicking on the F1 icon located in the browser toolbar.

So with such a simple approach for socializing any web contents, all the online content publishers would certainly throw a sigh of relief to some extent in managing their layout of blogs or websites with numbers of social sharing buttons. However, this initiative by Firefox will definitely turn out to be a welcomed add-on features from the viewpoint of the readers but in the webmasters perspective, this may take some time until all other browsers offer similar services or cross-browser social sharing options within it.
