What is Fire Uploader?
     As the name says, this firefox extension is an universal upload tool. It allows you to upload/download files from any website using a friendly interface. In this version, Box.net (1GB of free space), Flickr (photo viewing/sharing), Picasa (photo viewing/sharing), Youtube(Vidoes) are supported. You can upload videos to Youtube, upload/download/organize photos to Picasa, Flickr and Box.net. Next versions would support other websites like Google Videos, Webshots etc.

Why do you need this extension?
     There are so many instances where you had to upload files from your local computer to a website. The standard upload mechanism in any website has many limitations like

• They allow you to upload 1 file or a maximum of 10 files at a time.
• They doesn't show any information like upload progress i.e how much was already uploaded and how much is still remaining.

     This extension addresses these limitations by providing a intuitive way to upload the files. The benefits of using this extension are

• It shows the local folders and remote folders which enables you to upload files by single click.
• You can upload any number of files at a time.
• You can upload files to multiple websites using a single interface (using only one extension).
• Ability to add multiple accounts and upload files to each account independently.
• Site specific features are also included and will be improved in the coming versions. eg. Box.net: giving public/private access to files.

More features will be included in the coming versions. This extension is still rudimentary and user feedback is appreciated.
