kwiclick is a fabulous new Firefox extension that enhances the way you interact with content from services like Google, Twitter, YouTube, and more.

I just installed it and after on a few minutes of use am hooked.

In a nutshell kwiclick allows you to perform a search of text in Firefox by simply highlighting and clicking.  And going one step further kwiclick pulls your search results out into a separate, smaller window you take with you as you browse.  You can bring up the window to view your previous results at any time.  You can tell kwiclick what services you’d like it to search from Twiiter, to Google to Maps, YouTube and more.

You can also pull out videos from YouTube and other media related sites and view them along side your browser or send videos you like right to Facebook with only one click.

Check out the video below of kwiclick in action.

    This looks like a very good app. I was sold as soon as I saw you could watch videos and surf the internet same time. More features such as looking up an address instantly looked very cool too.
