Jason Faulkner is the man who brings you our daily tips. He is based in Atlanta, Georgia.Have you ever wanted Firefox to act as a functional file manager (much like the way Internet Explorer acts in Windows)? With the Firefly Firefox extension, you can have this functionality.
This free extension features (among others):
- Support for Windows and Linux (possibly Mac).
- View splitting.
- Auto-preview of files as long as appropriate readers are installed.
- Search features.
- “Send To” and “Open With” functionality.
While I wouldn’t say this is a ‘must have’, it is definitely a neat idea. The only thing I would be concerned about is the the security aspect…

I tried this and could not get it to work . But looking at the interface I thought that it looked very similar to Fire http://ftp. I tried Fire ftp and it does seem to work .You can open , open with , delete And drag and drop . Though it would seem that you can only access one drive at a time, you can copy and paste and best of all you can use it as it was meant to be used as an FTP
