Are you following the FIFA World Cup? We are definitely watching it, but unfortunately, can’t watch every game, but want to keep up with the latest scores.
We have been following the matches via Facebook and Twitter, but it’s a bit distracting from projects.
So, we have found a solution – FootieFox add-on at Rock Your Firefox. (Note: no spoilers in the screen grab – that would be poor form)
FootieFox is an add-on for Firefox (free, open source web browser), and it is working great. You can check all the scores for each group by clicking on the arrow in the bottom right corner of your browser window, and when a team scores, you will hear applause, and a pop up window lets you know what team scored. The team flags and score will be displayed until the game ends. Game schedules are also listed in the pull down menu so you can see what games you want to DVR. Speaking of DVR, be sure to turn off FootieFox if there’s a game you want to watch later.
In addition to the World Cup you can track over 200 leagues in 60 countries.
It’s free, easy (took about 60 seconds to get up and running), and is always available no matter what webpage you’re on.
Bonus add-on: “With Firefox Cup Personas you can customize your browser and flaunt your team spirit.”
As of the moment this is being written, Brazil has over 3,000 customized Personas, and the USA only has 114. If you want to show your team spirit, install your World Cup Persona – the team whose fans used Personas the most wins the Firefox Cup.
