Track Flight Prices in Firefox with Yapta
Posted by Kevin Purdy at 12:30 AM on December 1, 2007
Windows/Mac/Linux (Firefox): Flight-tracking website Yapta, previously mentioned here when it was an Internet Explorer-only extension, has released a Firefox version of its tagging tool. The same principle applies—head to an airline or travel aggregation website, start the standard date/passengers form rolling, and then click the "Tag it with Yapta" button on any flights you want to watch. You can then set Yapta to email you any time your tagged flights change in price by a dollar amount you choose. Yapta is a free download, which requires a sign-up at Yapta's website to function, and it works wherever Firefox does

For a person on the go this makes my life much easier, I was wondering when a Firefox version would come out, as I had heard about the IE version and was really wanting a Firefox version, as I only use Firefox for my web browsing needs.

We're excited to see Lifehacker cover the release of Yapta's add-on for Firefox (officially being announced on Tuesday)! As the Product Manager for Yapta, I thought I'd chime in with a few pointers about using Yapta's Firefox add-on:
Currently, you can use Yapta's Firefox add-on on the following websites:
www.aa.com
www.alaskaair.com
www.continental.com
www.delta.com
www.jetblue.com
www.united.com
www.usairways.com
We will be adding support for more airline websites soon, and in the meantime you can manually enter flights on other domestic carriers from Yapta's website.
Also, new since our IE add-on was released is a comparison shopping tool. When you search for flights on a supported airline site, the add-on will open a sidebar window that contains a list of all of the flights you're tracking (or if you haven't started tracking any yet, instructions in the sidebar window will help you get started).
Most importantly, we'd love to hear your feedback. Please let us know what you think by emailing feedback@yapta.com.
Thanks and happy trip tagging!
