Twitter extension for Firefox

Popular Firefox extension Twitterfox has a new name: Echofon. It's not just a name change, but a redesign with extended features too.

The visual changes might not please everyone - Echofon doesn't look as friendly as before, it's now colder with a slick silver grey interface. It still works like before though, so Twitterfox users won't have any problems.

Click on the circular logo in the Firefox statusbar, and the Echfon interface pops up. You can read new tweets, and post your own. It does most of what can do from the Twitter homepage, except viewing your or other people's profiles. Retweeting, replying and copying tweets is a cinch. Links are shortened where necessary, and there are tabs so you can view your mentions and personal messages.

Right clicking the Echofon Logo opens a context menu where you can toggle pop up alerts, switch between accounts and access the preferences.

In Preferences you can set how often Echofon will update (it's not live), and configure alerts. You can also manage and add multiple Twitter accounts from here, as well as choose from a small selection of themes. If you use Echofon on an iPhone, it will sync with Firefox so you won't see read tweets as new.

Echofon is one of our favorite Twitter apps. It's stable, fits in perfectly with browsing and doesn't take up room on your desktop. For Firefox users, Echofon is an essential add-on.

  • Pros

    • Sits discreetly in Firefox status bar
    • Allows you to configure tweet retrieval times and notifications
    • Supports Multiple accounts
    • Very easy to use
  • Cons

    • No ability to search tweets
    • Can't view user profiles

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
