Quick Maps add-on for Firefox lets you see the address on Google Maps without opening it.


Quick Maps is add-on for Firefox, developed my Mapify. Quick Maps lets you see the address on Google Maps with out opening it, when you hover your mouse over the address or when you select the address and "Right Click" (RMB) to look it directly.

Right now, it works for some countries like USA, UK, Spain, Italy, France, Germany and some others which the developer didn't mention. This add-on or the extension is available for Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome.
