That stomper tool is very useful. I seem to be overly concerned with checking the search results for my key terms... sometimes multiple times a day. I don't know why I expect them to change, but with this tool I don't feel the need to look so often. I'm working on trying the other tools on the list, but I'm really busy checking search results...

I look on the Scrutinizerat the killer part of their plugin, though that requires an additional download

Well, i'm glad they came out with these because I just switched my blogger over to my mobile phone. i find it easier to update my blog with content and what not. I like the stomper tool which is a little more compatible for me.

I doubt that very much, and this wasn't created for a Digg audience, just for my readers
wow that is a huge collection. Thanks so much for the update!

Are you seriously saying that you have 36 addons installed in your FF? Doesn't that have a huge negative effect on overall performance?

For normal browsing I tend to use Chrome more than Firefox these days.
There are negative performance issues with Firefox even without all those plugins, but I use it as a tool. With Firefox you can run multiple profiles for different tasks, thus I have a few "light" profiles.
I didn't include everything, for instance I also have Netbeans debugger in FF 3.1+ but not on FF3.5 beta

Need to install Live HTTP Headers, FoxyProxy plugins and test it out. Thanks for the list of plugins. Most of the plugins are installed, only these are left.
Great list of plugins. This is the only shortcoming of Chrome when compared against FireFox at this point - the plugins. I use Chrome for 99% of my usual browsing because the browser operates faster and the functionality/interface is very clean.
Once Chrome catches up to speed with Firefox in the plugins department, Chrome will really start to take off.
Damn. I feel like i just walked out of a cave. Never even heard about Shareaholic before this article. Could've used the hell out of this! Thanks for the wake up call! Retweeted!

There are a few I have missed out that I used to use frequently, but were skipped due to slow updates at some time in the past when Firefox was updated.
I need to check to see if they have been updated for current versions.
Thanks for the retweet

SEO Link Analysis is my favorite out of these plugins. I use it all the time and it works great for me.

Supercool. I was going to mention YSlow but you have already become a fan of Google page speed :))

Great list. As someone mentioned above, i find the larger plugins like FireBug to greatly reduce my performance. Often if I've used firebug or other larger plugins i will need to restart FF in order to get smooth performance again.
FoxyProxy is great for those that travel to china regularly, where every second website seems to be blocked - thus doing any research becomes incredibly hard!
Cheers.

Unfortunately I can't use Yslow or Page Speed without Firebug, and they are something I am working with a fair amount currently. They are not something I need for normal browsing, so when I am doing pure browsing I use a different profile.
Very extensive and interesting list. I will be checking out that twitter plugin, thanks for the great reference and source. May i make a suggestion? There are quite a few more examples of social bookmarking sites similar to delicious and shareaholic etc. Dont forget to add digg for instance, to your list. I didnt see it here but i may have missed it. digg is widely used, its a must-have for your list. Great work you did here nonetheless. The list is pretty extensive and useful. Thanks.

Great list Andy - the stomper tool set is pretty interesting havn't seen a plugin like that before!
Created anSEO Tools collection myself - included a plugin that may be of interest to you called "Outwib Hub" - which enables you to dissect a web page into data elements and harvest them :D

Andy, im finding my self reading you blog every day now. Thanks for the tips.
Now do you have all these plugins installed? I notice the more plugins i add to FF the slower and more memory it takes.
AndyBeard
· 6 months ago
I use multiple profiles, I have many more plugins installed on various profiles
It does slow things down, but Firefox is a memory hog with memory leaks anyway. Ultimately you might just need more memory.

why are there so many new sprouting internet marketing blogs, tips, articles and stuff like that everywhere on the web? they are everywhere, here there everywhere.. are you guy's making money out of this? It's so damn boring, i mean, every internet marketing articles out there are just exactly the same.. come on, can you just create a more unique one?

1. It was a news item 2. I was one of the first to create a list of SEO plugins on the new service 3. Mozilla profiles are strong in the SERPs 4. There is the opportunity for at least one strong link for your contribution
I do make money from this blog, but it is more a means to:-
Influence Market Research for future product & services Demonstrate Authority
I don't do list posts as a rule, read a little more, you might find my content a little more unique than others. If you are not interested in online marketing, why even bother commenting. I have never commented on Engadget or Autoblog - I find them boring

I use only some of them. And some of them are new to me. I think i am really benefited with those. I like #17 and #23. Thanks for your great work.
Nice list Andy, but seriously, who needs the webdeveloper addon, if you got FIREBUG :P
AndyBeard
· 6 months ago
I like the implementation of Web Developer TB more for playing with CSS. Firebug always seems to be behind on development, frequently not available for latest Firefox, and might be one of the major memory leaks (hard for a none developer to pin down why Firefox can grow to eat 400MB of memory with just one window open)

Great list of pluggins. I have only been running my website for around 6 months. I am now seeing the huge benefits of using certain pluggins.
I have heard alot about the Stompernet guys and so that is the first one I will be checking out from your list :)
