Save 5 Mins a Day with 5 Handy Mozilla Extensions

February 22, 2007

We all need a helping hand from our browsers now and again. Fortunately Mozilla's massive range of extensions can do just that and also save you heaps of time in process too. Here's my first port of call with every fresh install:

  1. SEO for Firefox "“ packs a hefty punch in the research of SEO from search engines results. Also very useful for a bird's eye view in analysing competition.
  2. Search Status "“ offers Google PageRank and the Alexa Popularity Ranking in the bottom right of the browser, plus indexed pages and backwards links from Google, Yahoo & MSN.
  3. Google Notebook "“ has had mixed reviews, although I find it pretty useful. Just like a normal notebook, it's great for taking notes! Pretty simple really, and with the ability to create and move sections, it's not that bad at organising and prioritising to-do lists either "“ which makes this extension a worthy counterpart.
  4. Web Developer "“ this is an awesome developer's timesaving tool, useful for checking out the HTML & CSS or in some cases dodgy table based designs in new sites. It lets you pop open the site's bonnet, have a poke around - without having to get your hands too dirty.
  5. ColorZilla "“ if you have an interest in web design, ColorZilla's colour reading from any point in your browser is likely to add value and again save you a minute here and there.

There's a few of my favs "“ any other recommendations?

    And what if you have Mac?

    Can you advice something like: http://iseowidget.brand-zen.com/ that?

    Hi Artem,

    I don’t have a huge amount of Mac experience, but the extension looks like it ticks all the right boxes for SEO research.

    I was searching for the widgets with the same functional, but didn’t find.
    Probably the developers of this product will evaluate it. They told me, that it would be good and full system for SEO specialists.

Got something to say?
