OpinionBar : Firefox toolbar for Digg, Dzone and StumbleUpon

Update: due to copyright issues with the name of this plugin, i have decided to discontinue the plugin. Please email me if you need the source code of this Firefox plugin.

Have you ever faced a situation where, you read an article, liked it but forgot to vote for it on DZone or Digg, simply because the owner of website has not put the relevant code on the web page.

Well I did. Their have been times when I wanted to vote for an article, but didn’t because of this.

So I created this Firefox toolbar to solve my problem.
