We all use Firefox as it is the best browser the world has ever seen, but sometimes we don’t use the plugins that make the browser so great. Here are some of the plugins that will help you enhance your daily online experience.
- SEOQUAKE
If you have been to my Dofollow search engine you will have noticed that small tutorial under the search bar on making money by selling links to people in different forums, if you did read the tutorial then you saw that it links to the amazing Seoquake plugin download page.SeoQuake is one of the best firefox plugins ever made. The plugin allows you to see the PR, Alexa Rank, Technorati Rank, Number of backlinks, Date the domain was bought, WHOIS, and a ton of other things.
If you are a webmaster and you want to analyze your competition then this plugin is a must. I can’t tell you how much time this plugin has saved me from having to search in different online just to get the PR of a certain page. Not using this plugin is just Foolish.
- Roboform
This plugin is awesome. If you are used to posting comments on different blogs this plugin can save you loads of time.
The plugin is very simple, it makes you fill out a form with your name, e-mail, phone, website, etc. And then it saves that form. Once you go into any comment box you simply click on the roboform button and it will fill out your name, website and e-mail for you and all you need to do is type in the comment. - Firebug
When you are an affiliate marketer you need to monitor all your landing pages and make sure they are eye pleasing. This plugin allows you to do just that.Firebug allows you to view the source code of any webpage and edit it and preview it live. The plugin can also be used to check for errors, and mistakes that you might have made with the code.
Firebug is must if you want to manage your landing pages effectively.
- Google Global
And excellent plugin when you want to spy on your competitor’s ads. This plugin allows you to view the search results from any country.
You can use this plugin to see the search results from Google for any given keyword.The plugin comes with different options, not only can you view the results from a certain country but from a certain region of that country, for example a zip code.
-
User Agent Switcher
Have you ever wanted to explore one of your competitor’s secret pages? Or maybe you just need access to a forum. The User Agent Switcher plugin for firefox will do the job.
You can spy secret pages and cloak yourself as a Google bot, this is one of the best ways to spy on your competitors, I really doubt any other spying plugin beats this.
-
FireFTP
For those of you that like using FTP rather than your Cpanel file uploading system, this plugin is for you.FireFTP blends right into your browser and allows you to upload your files fast and easy without leaving your amazing firefox browser.
Save more time with the Fireftp plugin and make the switch now. -
Redirect Remover
Stop guessing where a link is going to take you. The Redirect remover plugin will help you save time by showing you where a redirect link will direct you.
Why are you giving more money to your competitors by clicking their ads when you can simply view the original URL. You can also stop using joining affiliate services from your competitors, create your own campaigns without clicking their links.

I actually love the RoboForm software myself. I use it all of the time and it takes all of the menial everyday tasks that I have to perform on my computer daily and shortens them extremely! What once took me fifteen minutes to complete now takes me only one second because RoboForm does the same task with just one click. In fact I wrote a Report about a lot of RoboForm’s capabilities for use that aren’t even touched on in the User’s Manual for RoboForm. You can get that Report here:

I was going to write a simillar post previously but due to lack of time limited it to just SEO quake

@Amy: Yeah firebug is really useful I use it all the time.
@Omarra: It seems like a good e-book, although I won’t buy it because I don’t buy any e-books at all… ever. In my time online I have found out that nothing is a secret so in the meantime I could do extensive searches and eventually find the information, but it does seems like a good e-book for someone who doesn’t want to google for 25 minutes.
@Siddharth: Yeah lol SEOQUAKE is awesome, I would donate if I wasn’t so cheap.

Wow! Good list. I already use roboform. It is a real essential. I think you need to add some more plugins in that list.

@Agent: I just might, I only added the ones that I currently used but I might add some more that are helpful. Thanks for the feedback

to Germz:
Can you give more details, please?

Well you know how alexa allows you to input different websites? How about an option that allowed you to do that when you go your site or a competitor’s site.

I dont truly know what you talking about right here. This cant be the only way to think about this can it? It seems like you know a great deal, so why not explore it a lot more? Make it more accessible to everyone else who may not agree with you? Youd get a great deal more individuals behind this should you just stopped making general statements.
