Read it Later is a Firefox extension which can bookmark any URL so that you can read them later.

We receive a lot of information everyday. Sometimes, we don’t have much time to really go through all of them. We may choose to save them into our bookmarks folder and read them while we free. But, do you really go back to those articles when you are free? No, because sometimes you can’t differentiate between articles that you had read and not yet read. So, there is a service called InstaPaper, which will can categorize your articles to read and unread, so that you can go back to those unread article in future.

Read it Later is a similar service, but it save the page inside your own computer. After install the extension, you will see 2 new buttons at the toolbar.

When you found any article that you want to keep, press the left button and Firefox will save them to your bookmarks. When you are free, press the right button and Firefox will pick the unread article from your bookmarks. After you had read the article, Firefox will automatically remove them from your bookmarks folder.

There are a lot of options that you can play around, such as bookmark the unread article to online bookmarking services. There is an experimental feature, where you can save your article for offline viewing.
