Mozilla has released an update<\/a> to Contacts, its fantastic little contact management add-on for Firefox. The new version includes quite a few nice improvements, most notably added support for Facebook and Yahoo contacts. The Facebook integration works via the new Facebook Graph API<\/a>, which despite the developer saying it could still be buggy seems to be working fine for me.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

An interesting new feature is\u00a0 the\u201cperson:\u201d URL, which you can use to look up people in your contacts list — or anybody on the web, for that matter. Firefox will combine information from your the address book on your computer with that found on the web to create a profile page about the person — for example, you could try “person:http:\/\/facebook.com\/simonmackie\/”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The update also adds support for auto-completion of contact names in the Awesome Bar. Just start typing a name and it will suggest possible matches, as the screenshot below shows:<\/p>\n

Although Contacts is still classed as “experimental” by Mozilla, it’s an incredibly useful free add-on that I highly recommend installing, particularly if details of your contacts are currently spread across a few different services. You can download it here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What do you use to manage your contacts?<\/em><\/p>\n
