Last updated on April 17, 2011

Shopping online is not only fun, fast and comfortable but also saves your precious time. You can browse hundreds of online stores without leaving your home. If you shop online, you know that a product may be sold at a different price on different online stores. Also many of these online stores compete with each other to provide lowest price deals for the consumer. You can find these lowest prices for any product using the PriceBlink add-on in the Firefox browser.

PriceBlink offers a multitude of features for every online shopper. PriceBlink automatically lets you know if you’ve found the lowest price on a product or whether it can be found for less at another retailer. PriceBlink checks more than 3,000 merchants for lower prices. PriceBlink displays shipping costs along with price comparison results, the first add-on of its kind to do so. It also alerts you to money-saving coupons and free shipping codes for the site that you are on. For many products, PriceBlink displays composite user-rating scores.

Here is how you can install and use PriceBlink in Firefox :

Visit https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/priceblink/ in the Mozilla Firefox browser.
Click on the green colored Add to Firefox button to install the PriceBlink add-on.
It will prompt you for confirmation. Click on Install Now to proceed. Restart your web browser to complete the installation.
After Firefox has restarted, you will be ready to use the PriceBlink add-on. The PriceBlink icon stays in the statusbar of Firefox and does nothing. But when you visit an online store and look at a product, the yellow colored PriceBlink information bar pops up at the top edge of the web browser. You can see what the same product costs at different online stores along with the shipping costs by clicking on View All Prices.
You can click on these prices in the list to go to those online stores.
