firefox-extensions

A list of extensions for the FireFox web browser, which detect or extract microformats.

Current

Operator

Operator has rapidly found favour with microformat developers (not least for its functions as a validator) and end-users. It provides an architecture for microformat parsing which is likely to be incorporated into the core of future versions of FireFox.
