Best Mozilla FireFox Plugins for SEO, Domaining, and Web Development

One of the reasons that FireFox is my favorite browser is the wealth of different plugins, extensions, addons, and themes that are available to use free of charge from the Mozilla community of developers. Here is a list of my personal favorite Mozilla FireFox plugins/addons/extensions for SEO, Domaining, web development, Internet marketing, etc:

1. Search Status – The Search Status FireFox plugin is primarily an SEO plugin and it lets you look up WhoIs information, backlinks, indexed pages, perform keyword analysis, highlight nofollow links, and much more for whatever domain you are currently visiting all with just one click.
2. Firebug – The Firebug FireFox plugin is a plugin designed for web developers that is an extreme timesaver for me. The plugin works by letting you see HTML, CSS, scripting, DOM information and much more in a little console box at the bottom of your browser with just one click. The feature that really sets Firebug apart though is that it will let you edit any websites style sheet on the fly and then in real time allow you to see the effect of those changes in your browser. Of course, you still have to change the style sheet on your site and then FTP it to your site to make the changes permanent but Firebug is a great way for both novice and experienced web developers to play around with the code and see how their changes affect the display of the site.
3. Colorzilla – The Colorzilla FireFox plugin is awesome because it lets you mouse over anything in your browser and it will tell you exactly what color it is both in RGB and in web safe HTML color code. Very easy to use and very useful.
4. Google Toolbar for FireFox – This one doesn’t need much explanation I would hope. BONUS: Use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+K to do a Google search in FireFox (doesn’t require the Google toolbar).
5. InFormEnter – This data entry FireFox plugin makes any field on a website a clickable drop down field where you can select information that you specify ahead of time to fill into the field with no typing required.
6. SearchKeys – This FireFox search engine enhancement plugin allows you to simply type in the number of a search result in a Google or Yahoo results page and it will take you there automatically without any mouse movement or clicking. This is pretty sweet when you combine it with the keyboard shortcut mentioned earlier. If you want to do a Google search you just hit Ctrl+K, type in your search term, hit enter, and then press the number of the result that you want to go to (i.e. press “1″ on your number pad for result #1)

Those are some of my favorites although I am sure that I am missing some that I have used in the past since I recently reinstalled FireFox on my new home office computer set up. What are your favorite FireFox addons and plugins? Also, would it be useful to you if we made any of our tools into widgets/FireFox plugins or addons?
