EZProxy Redirect Foxified: Access Paywalled Content Easily
'EZProxy Redirect Foxified' is a Firefox extension modeled after Tom Wambold's Chrome extension EZProxy Redirect. It adds a button to your Firefox browser, enabling quick reloading of pages through your library's EZProxy system, granting ready access to paywalled journal articles and websites. It enables conversion of regular URLs to your library's EZProxy login URL. An alternative for non-university users is to host own proxy server and use this extension by adding its address.
