Foxclocks – Firefox add-on puts the world time in your browser bar

foxclocks Foxclocks Firefox add on puts the world time in your browser bar

Foxclocks is a neat little Firefox addon that lets you display your choice of world time clocks in the browser status bar. Neat, unobtrusive and very useful if you’re a global kinda person. It also offers some neat customisation features, like the ability to make the clock change colour at certain times (e.g. go green when it’s OK to call Australia without dragging people out of bed).

FoxClocks lets you keep an eye on the time around the world – or just your local time – by putting small clocks in your statusbar. Choose from a set of useful time formats or create your own – custom formats are easy to create and very flexible. You can set each clock’s colour, or even have a clock change colour during certain hours (perhaps green when it’s a good time to Skype your friends in Japan). Too much stuff in your statusbar? Move your clocks to a toolbar, or switch to ‘icon’ mode and hover over the FoxClocks icon to see your clocks.
