Flagfox is a Firefox extension that shows a little flag icon in the status bar indicating the current website's server location. It uses relatively little resources, and works by accessing an IP address database contained within the extension rather than relying on top-level-domain roots like ".com" or ".uk".
Clicking on the icon brings up further information from Wikipedia or Geotool, which is an online Geolocation tool. Geotool attempts to get more information from the Website's IP address, such as ISP and city and shows the location on a Google Map. It is also possible to do a Whois search, copy the IP address of the website or even add a custom lookup provider to the menu.
Requirements:
Firefox 2.0 – 3.6a2pre, Flock 1.0 - 2.5.*, and SeaMonkey 2.0a2 - 2.0b2pre.
Flagfox is not operating system or architecture dependent.
