ZDNetUK re3ports that the popular Google and Yahoo toolbars are both now availble as extensions in Firefox, and both are available to Linux and Mac Firefox users as well.

While there may be other apps that would meet this need on a slightly different model, I like to think that Web Replay could still fulfill a niche of its own.
