A handy Firefox add-on for fast, direct Tumblr posts and reblogs.
Easy Tumblr Posting for Firefox Users
Tumblr Post is a Firefox extension that simplifies the process of publishing content on Tumblr. Designed for quick sharing, it places a compact icon in the browser’s status bar, providing convenient access without cluttering the main interface.
Intuitive Interface and Quick Access
The icon sits unobtrusively until needed. Right-clicking it reveals several options, including direct access to your Tumblr dashboard, individual tumblelogs, or the ability to compose a new post immediately. The add-on’s settings menu allows users to add and manage multiple Tumblr accounts, making it especially useful for those who share content across different blogs.
Streamlined Rich Media Posting
One of the standout features is drag-and-drop support. Users can drag images, highlighted text, links, or even audio files onto the Tumblr Post icon, which automatically packages the content for posting on Tumblr. This workflow is notably efficient for sharing multimedia content, reducing the need to manually upload or format posts through the main Tumblr site.
Expanded Functionality and Reblogging
An additional context menu item lets users “Reblog this post” directly from post permalinks, speeding up the process of sharing content from other Tumblr blogs. This integration diminishes the friction typically associated with recirculating content and fits neatly into habitual browsing.
Customization and Account Management
Tumblr Post’s configuration options permit users to tailor how different post types (audio, video, image, text) are handled. For power users or multi-blog managers, toggling between accounts or adjusting posting preferences is both fast and reliable. Although posting images has seen improvements, there can still be occasional hitches with certain file types.
Performance and Stability
The add-on is lightweight, runs quietly in the background, and does not noticeably affect browser performance. Menu clearing and other minor bugs have been addressed in recent updates, improving stability and the overall user experience.
