Firefox Add-on : add Endnote Spark to your Web Browser

  Most of us are aware of Firefox as a popular alternative, standards-compliant Web browser.  Firefox is also open-source.  A direct advantage to using this open-source browser is that there is an active community of developers who are constantly offering improvements.  Instead of making us wait for a new version of the browser, Firefox uses “Add-ons” to promote constant innovation.There is a very useful Firefox extension to Endnote <addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3131> that allows you to seamlessly download a webpage citation from the Internet (Firefox Brower) to Endnote.To add-on Firefox – Endnote Add-on, go to Tools/Add-ons, in a new window click on Get Extensions. In the Search box of the Firefox Add-ons web-page type Endnote and download Endnote Add-on. Once you’ve installed it in FireFox, search the Internet, open web-page of your interest, go to Tools/Endnote, select Endnote Current Browser Text Export, then follow the prompts to download seamlessly the citation (or entire text) for the web-cite into Endnote software. If you are using a computer that does not have Endnote software installed on it, follow the same pathway and save the citation to e.g. your USB. To import the citation/citations you have saved into Endnote: open Endnote/File/Import, for the Import Data File select the file you have saved, and for Import Option select Reference Manager (RIS), click Import.The citation will appear in your Endnote Library.
