FireUploader extension for Firefox

FireUploader is the latest in a series of Firefox extensions by the programmer Rahul Jonna, and allows you to upload/download files from a number of websites using the same interface. Currently there is support for Box.net (1GB of free space), Flickr (photo viewing/sharing), Picasa Web Albums  (photo viewing/sharing), YouTube (Videos).

The example screenshots use Picasa Web Albums as the service.

The interface is directory listing based, which can be a quick way of working when you know the names of the files you want to upload, which places this upload method somewhere between the limited built in uploading support from the Picasa Web Albums website, and the extremely convenient (graphical selection) uploading offered by the Picasa desktop application.  The advantages of this extension are its availability across all Firefox platforms, and of offering the same interface to a number of services.
