Many users like to look-up movie information when they are browsing on other websites. This can be on shopping sites like Amazon or eBay, forums where movies are discussed or general websites that offer movie recommendations or lists. One usually would have to copy the title of the movie, open the IMDB website, paste the movie title in the search form and hit enter to retrieve the information about the movie.

The extension IMDB Movie Review for the Firefox web browser optimizes the process. It adds an option to the Firefox right-click menu that will directly perform a search for the selected phrase on IMDB thus eliminating the need to copy and paste the information.

The Firefox add-on IMDB Movie Review is compatible with Firefox 2.x and 3.0.x versions but unfortunately not with the latest 3.5x betas. It was however not a problem to force compatibility with the Nightly Tester Tools.

Update: IMDB Movie Review has been discontinued. The add-on is no longer available at the Mozilla Firefox add-on repository. Search IMDB is an alternative that is compatible with all recent versions of the web browser. The extension offers the very same functionality.
