Firefox Addon: Amazon Deal Button 1.1.20100502 Version Released

Leave a comment

FFAmznSaleAfter the first version of Amazon Deal Button was released, we received a couple of suggestions.  One of them was to simplify menu items and to allow users to customize discount percentage ranges.

That’s a really good point and we did achieve that in this new version.   In summary, major changes made in this new version are:

  • Choose your own range of discount percentage for any product categories on Amazon US and UK sites. For example, you can choose 20% or more as your preferred discount range, thereafter all your clicks on discount links will lead you to see products 20% off or more on Amazon. You may change this setting any time and get desired discount percentage range immediately.
  • Bug Fix: when you use Small Icons options when you customize Firefox Toolbar, size of Amazon Deal Button will adjust accordingly.

The following flow chart (click to enlarge) shows how easy it is to customize range of discount percentages.

In most cases, Amazon and eBay prices in the same country will be compared, for example, if you click from Amazon.co.uk, you get result between Amazon.co.uk and eBay.co.uk. However, for a small number of countries, because they are not supported by eBay or Amazon, you’ll need to compare with other country’s results. These situations include:

  • click from ebay.ie,  you get amazon.co.uk vs. ebay.ie

Addon Description

Are you a fan of Amazon or eBay, or are you just a fan of good products at lowest price? No matter which type you fit in, AmabayFox allows you to search both Amazon and eBay for a product and compare prices between these two online shops side by side to find best deals.

In addition to that, unlike other price comparison Firefox Addons which force you to choose your keyword by either typing or highlighting, AmabayFox places a down-to-earth Compare button beside the product you are browsing on online shop website (currently Amazon, more shops to be added), all you need is one click on the button, and there you go with Amazon and eBay prices side by side displayed in front of you.

There is no permanent toolbar or button on your browser that comes with AmabayFox, since the AmabayFox button only shows up when you are on product web page.
