Firefox Campus is a little different that the previous branded versions we've covered (notably [AllPeers][6] and [EBay][5]) in that there's no specific company involved, rather the campus edition of Firefox comes bundled with a number of add-ons students might find helpful. - -The featured add-on in the campus edition are [Zotero][7], [FoxyTunes][8] and [StumbleUpon][9]. Zotero is a research tool which helps collect, manage and cite research sources while FoxyTunes lets you control various media players from within Firefox. - -The StumbleUpon toolbar seems of dubious usefulness for students, though it is no doubt an excellent time waster and a fun way to find random, engaging websites. - -The campus edition page should be [available for download][11] sometime later today. - -While the student bundle is primarily a PR move on Mozilla's part, and a good one at that, we can't help thinking they left out some of the more useful plugins for students. - -For instance, [Research Word][2] gives Firefox a handy contextual menu item to look up words and phrases in a variety of sources. Select the word to lookup and right-click the selection to access definitions from Wikipedia, Google Definitions, IMDb and more. - -For the science majors there's [Biotech][1], which offers some links and tools for people wanting to research the field of Biotechnology. - -Other cool tools for students include [Diigo][3], a web highlighter and sticky note extension and the [Sirsi Library System][4] add-on which is great if your university or school uses the Sirsi Library System. - -[via [Digg][10]] - -[1]: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4473 -[2]: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3803 -[3]: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2792 -[4]: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2460 -[5]: http://blog.wired.com/monkeybites/2007/07/firefox-partner.html -[6]: http://blog.wired.com/monkeybites/2007/06/firefox_and_all.html -[7]: http://www.zotero.org/ -[8]: http://www.foxytunes.com/ -[9]: http://www.stumbleupon.com/ -[10]: http://www.digg.com/software/Firefox_Campus_Edition_Launching_Today -[11]: http://www.firefox.com/backtoschool
