Read it Later is a handy Firefox add-on, which we’ve covered earlier. Basically, it’s pretty similar to the bookmarking feature, but it’s meant only for those one-time interesting pages. You can save pages of interest to read it later. The developer has released a new version of the add-on, which makes it compatible with Firefox 3 and adds several new features as well.
Read it Later for Firefox 3 tightly integrates with Firefox 3’s address bar. Just next to the ‘one-click bookmarking’ star in the address bar, Read it Later adds a checkmark. Clicking on the checkmark will save or remove the page from your reading list.
Another nifty feature to be included in this version of Read It Later is the ability to sync your list with multiple computers. For instance, you can sync your office reading list with your home computer using the unique feed ID and password given to your list. This way, your read list is no more tied down to your home or office computer. What’s more? Read below the fold:
- Offline Reading: If you want to access your reading list, while you are away from active internet connection, Read It Later can prefetch those pages and save it for offline reading.
- RSS Feed: Your reading list is accessible from any RSS reader (like Google Reader, FeedDemon or even a mobile phone). You can also use your personalized RSS feed to share your reading list with others.
- Click to Save Mode: While running through tons of links in delicious, digg or any other social media site, you can toggle the ‘click to save’ mode by pressing Alt + M (customizable). Any link clicked, while this mode is active, will be straight away added to your reading list.
You can install Read It Later from Firefox 3 from here.

Sounds interesting, maybe I’ll try it out.
Always good when the add-ons become compatible with Firefox 3, though it takes a long time for some

Thanks. Installed it on my FX. Looks handy. I wish Opera had something similar. When I come across something I want to read later I just copy the url to my Opera notes.
But this is so much better.

Offline reading would have been very handy when you internet connection went down the other day? Nice plugin, another to add to the long list.
Boy, can’t believe I was with IE for so long!

Always interested in new FireFox plugins. Although FireFox refused to install a certain plugin today, it said that it wouldn’t install because it deem it safe i think. I don;t mind, I don’t need anything going wrong with my Laptop so kudos FireFox!

This should simplify the deletion process and save space in the memory as well.
