Meebo, the widely used instant messaging application has released a Firefox add-on for easy chatting while browsing.

The Meebo Firefox add-on makes it much easier to chat with friends while browsing online. By being in firefox users will no longer have to go back and forth while chatting and browsing. The sidebar gives users a visual notification, the side pane pops open, when contacts send you an instant message. No longer will users have to paste links and uploading and sending images is a thing of the past, Meebo allows users to drag and drop links and images right onto contacts.

One downfall is the Meebo Firefox tab must keep open at all times in order to remain signed in.
