The Top Ten FireFox Addons I Use.

Posted on May 1, 2008
Filed Under tip of the day |

Mozilla FirefoxImage via WikipediaI like to have things right at my finger tips and Firefox Addons seem to do that for me so I have a few Addons I would like to share with you.

Here is a list of 10 addons I currently have installed in my Firefox I feel worth sharing with you.

1. Alexa Sparky - Sparky is a free Firefox browser plugin built by Alexa, that accompanies you as you surf, providing useful information about the sites you visit without interrupting your Web browsing.

I like to know stats about the sites I visit and Alexa ranking is still important to me and my understanding is that Alexa is doing a better job of stats collecting so the Alexa ranking with be more accurate.

2. Del.icio.us - Bookmarking pages is so important in internet marketing but being able to share those bookmarks is powerful so I have Del.icio.us available now from my FireFox menu any time I want to add a bookmark whether it’s private or I want it made public.

3. Foxmarks Bookmark Synchronizer - This bookmark synchronizer should save me from losing the many hundreds of bookmarks I have. I have lost them all twice in the past when doing Firefox updates but that should not happen now.

If you use Firefox on more than one computer, you’ll want Foxmarks. Install Foxmarks on each computer, and it will work silently in the background to keep your bookmarks synchronized. You can also log in to my.foxmarks.com to manage your bookmarks from any computer.

4. RankChecker - It’s nice to be able to just click a button and have a window pop up that will let me check my sites against my keywords to where I am positions in Google. The other sites don’t interest me so much.

5. ReminderFox - The more I have to do the further I get behind and the more post-it notes I have all over. I only added this Addon to my site this morning but I have already added todos and reminders. A good start.

I was introduced to ReminderFox by Ades just this morning. Thanks Ades

ReminderFox is an extension that displays and manages lists of date-based reminders and ToDo’s. ReminderFox does not seek to be a full-fledged calendar system. In fact, the target audience is anybody that simply wants to remember important dates (birthdays, anniversaries, etc) without having to run a whole calendar application.

6. Screen Grab! - I am creating a few tutorials and this Addon allows me to grab sections of my screen. This is certainly easier than the way I used to do it by grabbing the entire screen, loading it into Photoshop and then cutting out the piece I wanted. Worth a grab.

7. SEO For FireFox - I like to have all the info on the websites I am researching and SEO for Firefox gives me a ton of info. Check out the video and read the site page for all the details.

8. SeoQuake - Seoquake is a Mozilla Firefox extension aimed primarily at helping web masters who deal with search engine optimization and internet promotion of web sites. Seoquake allows to obtain and investigate many important SEO parameters of the internet…

9. Session Manager - I love this Addon. Session Manager saves and restores the state of all windows - either when you want it or automatically at startup and after crashes. Additionally it offers you to reopen (accidentally) closed windows and tabs. If you’re afraid of losing data while…

10. StumbleUpon - With StumbleUpon you can also connect with friends and share your discoveries, meet people that have similar interests, and check out what other people are discovering.

I have a few more Addons that I use periodically but I didn’t feel they were worth mentioning as I don’t use them much.

    Is Screen Grab a rip off of what Safari has or did Safari just rip off Screen Grab? Safari has a standard button on the tool bar that lets you select the part of the page you want to grab. I believe it calls it a clipping.

    ReminderFox is really cool. Definitely a lot better than having a sticky note on your desk.

    Hey Jacinda, thanks for dropping by.

    I can’t answer whether one ripped off the other. I took a few minutes and installed Safari but I don’t see a feature like Screen Grab.

    But it works great in Firefox and saves me a few extra minutes each time I use it.

    Hey webmann, these are some excellent and fresh tips! You are probably the first person I’ve seen mention all these browser additions, I’ll definitely have to check them out!

    Thanks for the great post.

    Good day Tom and you’re welcome.

    I love plugins and probably go overboard with the number I use.

    I also go crazy for WordPress Plugins.

    Webmann, really solid list of FF add-ons. My top ten would look pretty similar to this, but you definitely introduced some new ones to me too. I must say though, you might have missed one. I think you’d really dig Me.dium, a social browsing add-on, especially if you like StumbleUpon. We’d love for you to check it out and give us your thoughts. Thanks for the list.
