Bloggers Top Firefox Plugins
Today I wanted to share some browser tools to make you a better blogger. Sometimes writing a post and staying on a posting schedule can be pretty hard, I know I have a life outside of my blog, and I’m sure you do to 
So here are 15 of my favorite Firefox plugins that I use everyday, and I recommend you use them to make you a better blogger. Oh yea and for the IE, Safari and Chrome users, this list is for you to since most of these plugins are compatible.
In the list I will point out my ALL TIME favs..that I would never leave home without.
ScribeFire is a full-featured blog editor that integrates with your browser and lets you easily post to your blog.
Content recommendations while you write. Zemanta helps you enhance you blogs with relevant images, videos, links or tags. Works with WordPress, Blogger, TypePad and others.
TOP: Now Zemanta is a great plugin, it does everything I need right in my blog dashboard or on Windows Writer. Best part is I can add my own related posts without needing a Wordpress plugin.
Add photos and video to your blog with one click. Easily search and embed media from over 50+ sources. Twitter, YouTube, Wikipedia, Google Maps, Google Street view and many more are supported.
Clipmarks lets you clip and share specific parts of articles, blog posts or anything else you read on the web. With our newly integrated Amplify service, you can post clips directly to Twitter or Facebook – or share them on clipmarks.com and more
The ultimate add-on for the link sharing addict! Works with 60+ services including Twitter, Facebook, Google Gmail, Delicious, LinkedIn, etc. Shareaholic makes sharing online much better, faster & easier dramatically enhancing your ..
Screengrab! saves webpages as images… It will capture what you can see in the window, the entire page, just a selection, a particular frame… basically it saves webpages as images – either to a file, or to the clipboard.
TOP: I use screengrab about 20 times a day, I think I’m addicted..lol But it is one of those tools that you don’t think you need till you have it.
Tab Mix Plus enhances Firefox’s tab browsing capabilities. It includes such features as duplicating tabs, controlling tab focus, tab clicking options, undo closed tabs and windows, plus much more. It also includes a full-featured session manager.
TOP: I like tab mix since I sometimes have 20-40 tabs open this helps me arrange and manage all my tabs better then Firefox’s default tabbing system.
FireFTP is a free, secure, cross-platform FTP client for Mozilla Firefox which provides easy and intuitive access to FTP servers.
A extension that can be used to explorer an individuals combined web identity across social network/media sites.
Enriches the link data in Google Webmaster Tools & Yahoo! Site Explorer by showing the PageRank of the linking page, the anchor text user and whether the link is nofollowed or not.
Use PDF Download to do whatever you like with PDF files on the Web. Regain control and eliminate browser problems, view PDFs directly in Firefox as HTML, and use the all-new Web-to-PDF toolbar to save and share Web pages as high-quality PDF files.
TOP: Pdf downloader makes downloading a pdf so easy and fast, instead of the pain in the ass old way. No more freezing FF just click and it’s downloaded, a great tool especially now since everyone is offering a free ebook to download.
DashBlog Update May 10: Dash Blog no longer available.
DashBlog lets you quickly collect videos, images, text/quotes, songs and screen-captures from any web page and publish them to your blog (word press, blogger/blogspot, tumblr) and/or twitter.
Blog This in Windows Live Writer
Adds a button to Firefox which starts a new Windows Live Writer blog post prepopulated with content and title from the current web page. Blog the whole page, or just selected snippets. Interacts with other registered plugins to parse and structure web content where appropriate. Blog quickly when you find something of interest on the web.
Firebug integrates with Firefox to put a wealth of development tools at your fingertips while you browse. You can edit, debug, and monitor CSS, HTML, and JavaScript live in any web page… Firebug 1.4 requires Firefox 3.0 or higher.
OnlyWire – Social Networking Auto-Submitter
Submit content to over 30 social networking sites with one button click. Join thousands of publishers and bloggers using OnlyWire’s free tools to streamline the social networking submission process.
This is my #1 plugin hands down!…This is my little FREE secret weapon to getting ranked pretty well for my keywords against HUGE competition with my young blog.
I’m sure a few of you already know about Onlywire but havn’t put it to use. I’m telling you now, if you are on a budget and can’t afford a stand alone bookmarking software then Onlywire has to be one of your new tools to use!
Ok that’s my list, and yes there are 100’s of FF plugins besides these, but these are my top 15, that I use on a regular basis. Now with these plugins you will be on your wat to being a better blogger, and help you be efficient and keep you on a regular posting schedule.
What you think of my list? Any plugins you would have added?

John Good info. I used to really like firefox, until I started using Chrome. Firefox just seems to take up so much memory.
On a side note, the link at the bottom – “Click Here to add to Twitter and RT” the bit.ly url is incorrect. The included url does not include the y in bit.ly
I will definitely try some of these out.

TY glad you liked the list. Yea I have been on FF for years, and lately it has been driven me crazy.
But I have alll my info here, it would be such a pain in the butt to move to another browser.
Also thanks for the heads up on the broken link,lol all fixed now.

Great list of useful plugins but you missed my fav one easy comment firefox extension… I love it.. and Im sure you will also love it
November 22nd, 2009 at 8:44 am
I actually use EC but couldn't find a good picture for it, and I had another add-on that I use even more, so it didn't make the list. Should of did my top 16 list

I was really impressed with the way that Zemanta finds additional content, but the additional code snippets that it generates and includes was a deal breaker for me.
The others like the Link Analysis tool and tab mix plus are outright winners in my book.
November 23rd, 2009 at 6:15 am
I agree that Zemanta input extra content, but I just remove it like the reblog button and the extra info they add when you add Related posts.. but other then that works great and saves me alot of time.
Tab mix plus is great since I always have like 30 tabs open at a time..lol
