Converter is a Firefox add-on that provides contextual unit and timezone conversion on any web page (units: several metric/Imperial, both ways, configurable; timezones: any timezone to your local time).
Converts either the selected measurement (via right click), or the entire page (via status bar icon, or right click->Convert the entire page; each option can be shown or hidden via configuration).
Supported units: meters, feet, degrees Celsius, Fahrenheit, inches, centimeters, kilometers, miles, km/h, mph, square meters, square feet, kg, lb, fl oz, milliliters, and more (plus some spelling variations).
The Converter add-on is cross-platform and it works on Mac OS X, Windows and Linux.
Here are some key features of "Converter":
