We all want a way to get more information about the Web sites we know and love, right? Even if you don’t run one yourself, it is always nice to go out and find out something you did not know. That is where the About This Site Firefox extension comes in. It will hand you a plethora of details all in one context menu.

Here is what the author of the extension had to say about it.

One-click access to web site metadata - traffic, related and linked pages, and more - added to the Tools menu and context menu. Once the extension is installed, restart Firefox. Then, in the right-click context menu or Tools menu on any web page, choose “About This Site.” “Show all” will open all the sites in new tabs.

So as you can see, there is a lot to love here. It is easy to use, and allows you to use many resources to hunt down more information about a Web site. Some of these include: Alexa traffic detail and related sites, Google pages, cache and link information, Kinja site card, Netcraft reports and more.

This Firefox extension is for versions 1.5 and up of the browser. If you want to download it and try it out for yourself, you can do so at Mozilla’s Add-on Web site.
