Never miss Cashback again with Firefox toolbar

I'm a big fan of Firefox - if you've not got it and are still using Internet Explorer you are missing out big time.

Anyway I am always buying stuff on eBay but keep forgetting to go through cashback sites. Hence me missing out on a bit of money for free which I do not like!

So knowing how good Firefox is for addons I searched for something that would remind me and found this

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/7442

Not sure how well it works but worth a go. Feel free to move this to a more appopiate section and sorry if it has been posted already

Works with eBay, just annoyed I missed out on £380 worth of comission :( (just bought a 37" LCD HDTV at the weekend)

    Works for me. Had to register on Mozilla. Installed, restarted. Went to two sites I know are on cashback sites and on top lhs of browser a small heading comes up saying "This site has cashback of 3%" click on "view offers" opens up a new window

    With mine I had to sign up to Mozilla (had done so already) and open and close Firefox before it worked.

    Hope this will go in the weekly newsletter, I'd love to see as many people to benefit as possible

    It'd be good if you could choose to display the cashback deal for your favourite cashback site as opposed to the best overall deal. But it's good, it means I won't forget to get cashback on eBay now - the one place I always seem to forget about.

    It only shows when you go to a page that has cashback. So try play.com for example and a bar with drop down at the top of the browser viewing area.

    I always forget Ebay too and Amazon

    Funny enough doesn't seem to work for Amazon for me, although Pigsbank has points for using Amazon.

    Love this!!! For those having problems the pages look no different until you log onto a site that offers cashback and then a pop-up appears :T
