I've just found out about Browster an extension for Firefox and plug-in for Internet Explorer. The idea is beautifully simple: Browster associates an icon with every link on a Web page - hover on that icon and the associated Web page pops up in a Browster window. This applies, for example, to the internal links in a page as well as external links, so you can hover on the reference links in an Information Research paper and the associated reference list pops up in a Browster window - no more forwards and backwards, to and from the reference list when you want to check on a reference as you read.

This is definitely a 'must get'!
