Whois Search Plug-in

This plug-in can be installed in the Mozilla Firefox and Mozilla (Seamonkey) browsers only. It allows a WHOIS search to be made directly within the browser. In Firefox you can select the plug-in from the search box on the toolbar, and in Mozilla (Seamonkey) you can access the plug-in from the sidebar or the location bar. Please visit Mozilla's Mycroft Project for more general information.

The plug-in is installed on the above browsers by clicking on the link below. It uses JavaScript to automatically copy the two files (the script and an image) to the correct location within your browser’s profile directly, without the need for a restart of the browser. To install this plug-in, you will need JavaScript turned on.
