[Firefox] Keep an Eye on the Time around the World with FoxClocks
In this age of globalization, if you are also someone like me who works with teams located across geographies not limited to same city, state or country, you already know the importance of this post.
Often, we often find ourselves wondering about the time difference or current time at a particular country in a particular continent. Though, in such times, we can always rely on Google to help us with the local time of a place, or add another timezone to our Outlook calendar. However, in my opinion the best way is to have a plugin installed on your computer which can help you know the current time of your place of choice with minimalistic key presses and complexity. In such situation, what works the best is Firefox Add-on called FoxClocks.
FoxClocks lets you keep an eye on the time around the world – or just your local time – by putting small clocks in your Firefox statusbar. You can either choose from a set of useful time formats or create your own. Custom formats are easy to create and very flexible.

FoxClocks also allows you to set each clock’s colour, or even have a clock change colour during certain hours (perhaps green when it’s a good time to Skype your friends in Japan). If you have too much stuff in your statusbar, you can move your clocks to a toolbar, or switch to ‘icon’ mode and hover over the FoxClocks icon to see your clocks.

FoxClocks’ Zone Picker tree lets you browse virtually all the world’s time zones by country, region or city. Enable automatic database updates and you’ll always have the right time.
If you have Google Earth, FoxClocks can take you to any location in its database: don’t know where Budapest is? Right-click on it and choose ‘Google Earth…’.
Go ahead and install FoxClocks for Firefox on your computer and from next time on, whenever someone asks you the time in Rome, you would know it already
