New version of LinkedIn's FireFox Toolbar Is Here

image LinkedIn announced the next version of the Firefox browser toolbar.

Support for the Info box in the latest versions of your favorite web mail including Yahoo, AOL, Hotmail, and Gmail (What is Info Box?) has been updated. Support for the Jobs Insider for Monster, Hotjobs, Craigslist, CareerBuilder, Dice, and Vault are also updated.

For existing users of the toolbar these are bound to be welcome changes but for the uninitiated here are the benefits of using the Firefox toolbar. Isn't having access to your LinkedIn network as you browse the web good enough?

You may have also noticed that in addition to looking up people instantly from any website and your web mail, the browser toolbar has a feature called the Jobs Insider. So, when all you job hunters view a job listing, the JobsInsider opens a side pane where you'll automatically see your inside connections to the company whose job you're looking at!
