Quickly locate an address via a Google Map inside Firefox

Grab140 How often do you find an address or postcode when browsing the Internet, then need to copy and paste this information in to another window, or tab, so you can find the location? Wouldn't it be far easier if you could turn the address information in to a searchable option, so you could run the location from within your browser?

Mini Map Sidebar 0.1.4.12 is a free add-on for Firefox that will enable you to run an address or location search from within your browser, using your right mouse button. Better still, a sidebar will appear with the mapping location, based on Google Maps. You can quickly refer to the information and then find other details, such as a local cafe, close to the location. You're not just restricted to Google Maps either, so you can search an alternative if required.
