The best WHOIS add-on for Firefox just got a little better. We've added some new features and changed things around a bit:
Perform WHOIS on type-in domains
Previously, you had to load a website before being able to see the WHOIS results. If you weren't browsing the page you wanted to lookup, it was necessary to perform the additional step of visiting it. This is no longer required, the tool will perform a WHOIS on the domain entered in the address bar, not the active website address.

WHOIS button in Firefox
A couple of days ago, I was looking for a simple add-on in Firefox which would allow me to perform WHOIS queries without too much hassle. At first, I was overwhelmed by the a choice of no less than 28 different add-ons. However, after filtering out the experimental tools, the overly bulky and complicated tools, the tools which aren't ready for Firefox 3 even though it was released ages ago, I was left with two options. However, after I installed the first one, Firefox crashed without warning. The second one just didn't do anything; there was no button to click.
