StockTicker

This extension places a stock ticker in your Firefox status bar:

By default, there are two stock symbols (YHOO & ^DJI) that will rotate back and forth. You can add more symbols, but we’ll get to that soon.

You’ll also notice that the extension places a new toolbar in your browser window. The toolbar is actually a scrolling stock ticker:

It’s probably very unlikely that you will want both the toolbar and status bar tickers. You can turn each of them off.

To turn off the toolbar, go to View > Toolbars > StockTicker:

To turn off the status bar ticker, just right-click on it and choose “Hide this ticker”

Next, let’s look at the Options Window.

Under the “Stocks” tab, you can add/remove stock symbols, as well as adjust the speed of the ticker:

Under the “Colors” tab, you can adjust the colors of the stock symbols:

Under “Display,” you can choose which criteria you’d like to display along with the symbol. As you can see, you have many to choose from:

Finally, under “Details Site,” you can set the financial site that you’d like to use to view details on the stock.

To access this feature, just double-click on the symbol located in the ticker.
