Feeling Lucky
What is it?
'Feeling Lucky' is an extension for the Firefox web browser. This extension provides a very quick and easy way to perform a Google "I'm Feeling Lucky" search using any text in the browser window.
Rather than having to copy and paste or manually type the text into Firefox's Location (or address) bar to have it perform the "I'm Feeling Lucky" search (a cool feature that I used a lot, hence this extension to make life just a little easier) all you need do is select the relevent text and either hit <Enter> or right-click and select "I'm Feeling Lucky" from the context menu, Firefox will then open the website that is the first result in Google's search in a new tab.
