When we announced the new XING Plugin for the Internet Explorer 8 Beta 1, lots of people came back to us and asked for a Firefox version. And now here it is: The new XING Plugin for Mozilla Firefox. The new plugin allows you to highlight the name of a person or company on any website and find out how many XING results match your keyword. All you have to do is highlight a word, click the right mouse button and choose “Find on XING”. Here’s a quick example: I just read an interview with Lars Hinrichs and wanted to check if he’s on XING 
so I highlighted his name and started the search.
These are the results you see when you’re logged out, if you’re logged in to XING, you’ll automatically get a list of profiles containing the keyword you searched for. The new Plugin is available in the XING download section from today onwards.

I thought you may want to go further and to talk to this guy, Ted Rheingold

who created and manage this multi-people search engine plugin, one of the most popular:
“Who Is This Person?”

and then… the next step will be your application for Facebook? why not!

I’m a premium member in xing, and i have a lot of problems with new javascripts in xing.com
If you download Maxthon (A popular web browser here in spain) the page don’t work fine. With freezes happens by new javascripts.
You can test it… with maxthon browser 1.x
Regards.
Thanks a lot for your feedback Jordi, we are trying to get to the bottom of this – have you tried upgrading your browser to 2.x?
