Firefox Add-on: Groupon Button

Posted by – January 23, 2011

We just released Groupon Button for Firefox, although it’s named after Groupon,  it actually supports both Groupon and LivingSocial, both are leading deal websites selling local business coupons online, serving  over 180 cities worldwide by offering a hand-picked heavily discounted local deal everyday to online shoppers.   This is the 1st Firefox add-on tools that brings online shopper much closer to Groupon and LivingSocial sites than before.

Features

These features are as of version 1.0.20110331 released on March 28, 2011.

Customize your button link to either Groupon or LivingSocial

Choose to link the button to either Groupon or LivingSocial by right clicking on the button and choose from the menu.  The Groupon sites include United States (including Canada cities), United Kingdom, France, Germany, etc.  We are not only the first Firefox add-on for Groupon, but also the add-on that covers complete list of Groupon country sites including China.  For a complete list, please see screen shots below:

Unlike Groupon who use different sites for different countries, LivingSocial covers multiple countries using one site.  Currently, it covers US, Canada, UK, Australia You may choose your button link to LivingSocial.com.

One click check out latest deals

Clicking on Groupon Button on Firefox navigation bar leads you to Groupon or LivingSocial page of your customized city which shows today’s deals of your preferred local area.

Choose to open link in different locations

Right clicking on the button and choose from the “Open link in…” menu will allow you to choose to open links in a foreground new tab, a background new tab, or current tab.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why don’t you allow me to choose city?

Currently, both Groupon (all sites) and LivingSocial allows you to change your city preference on their site, that setting is automatically saved, therefore there is no need for Groupon Button to duplicate that effort.  After you choose a site to link to, you don’t need to bother to choose city using this addon, all you need to do is to make sure you chose the right city on Groupon or LivingSocial site, as both Groupon and LivingSocial site has the ability to remember your setting and will redirect to your previously chosen city page when you return.

Here are the steps of choosing city preference on Groupon/LivingSocial

  • Groupon: open drop down menu on the city name at top of the page, then change city.
  • LivingSocial: click on “more deals” on upper left area, then choose city.

  • Added Top Rated section for Amazon US.  In addition to Bestsellers, Movers and Shakers, Hot New Releases, Most Gifted and Most Wished For sections, Amazon US recently launched a new section called Top Rated which allows online shoppers to browse products by customer reviews and by categories.  The products with the overall highest customer review among biggest customer population are ranked highest.
  • Updated deal links for Amazon US, UK and Germany.  Since last version was released about 4 months ago, a few changes have happened to Amazon US, UK and Germany site structure, these changes are reflected.
  • Search highlighted keywords using Amabay and compare Amazon and eBay prices based on your country setting.  For example, if your Amazon Deal Button country is set to UK, you will see Amazon.co.uk and eBay.co.uk price comparison results.
  • Look and Feel.  The menu item icons are now changed to a uniform yellow post-it icon instead of English letters used in previous versions.

Caveats related to sort by settings:

  • Sort by setting only applies to discounted products section
  • Sort by release date option is not available to all product categories, for example, DIY & Tools in Amazon UK

We’ve released a new version of AmabayFox, the major improvement was to support Amazon and eBay international sites.   Amazon US, UK, Japan, Germany sites and eBay US, UK, Germany, France, Canada, Austria, Australia, Italy, Spain etc. sites are now supported, now you may compare Amazon and eBay prices from all the above country websites.

We try to compare prices between Amazon and eBay in the same country, and it’s true for most countries for example, if you click from Amazon.co.uk, you get result between Amazon.co.uk and eBay.co.uk.  For a small number of other countries, because  they are not supported by eBay or Amazon, you’ll need to compare with another country’s results. These situations include:

  • click from amazon.co.jp, you get amazon.co.jp vs. ebay.com
  • click from ebay.ie,  you get amazon.co.uk vs. ebay.ie
  • click from ebay.co.au, you get amazon.com vs. ebay.co.au
  • click from ebay.be, ebay. at, ebay.es, ebay.it, ebay.ch, or ebay.nl,  you get amazon.de vs. these countries’ ebay results
