		<description><![CDATA[Today Firefox / Mozilla launched the ability to create <a href="http://blog.mozilla.com/addons/2009/06/10/introducing-add-on-collections/">public collections</a> that other people can subscribe to so I though it about time I publish a list of most of the plugins I currently use that are specific to what my readers are interested in.

Some of them are fairly common, others a little geeky and for specific uses.

These are however the plugins I use or have remained installed on Firefox for an extended period of time, and many might prove useful.

Pick up the collection here:- <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/collection/blogger-seo-im">Blogger SEO &#38; Internet Marketing Tools</a>

<li><a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/7568">StomperTools</a> - A totally unique plugin &#8211; this is why the Stompernet guys rock</li>
<li><a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2637">TableTools</a> - Ever wanted to reverse the sorting of an HTML table &#8211; this can do it, though you might need to create an extra column with a reverse index.</li>
<li><a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/59">User Agent Switcher</a> - Prowl around the web as Googlebot and interesting things can happen</li>
<li><a style="text-decoration: none;" href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3247">Amazon S3 Firefox Organizer(S3Fox)</a> - The easiest way to add files to Amazon S3 for casual users.</li>
<li><a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/11587">Talon: Screen Capture &amp; Aviary.com Quick Launch</a> &#8211; Look on this one as a bonus as it was just added, might prove to be a total Snagit replacement for those times I just need to grab part of a page.</li>
<li><a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4554">Extended Copy Menu</a> - Makes it easier to copy/paste HTML rather than text</li>
<li><a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4723">Save Complete</a> - Save complete webpages correctly for later reference &#8211; especially good for things like complete sales pages</li>
<li><a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/9393">Better Google Analytics (BetterGA)</a> - Enhances Google Analytics with a compilation of user scripts.</li>
<li><a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1095">XPath Checker</a> - One of 2 applications that allow me to try to learn Xpath &#8211; useful when playing with scraping ;)</li>
<li><a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1192">XPather</a> - One of 2 applications that allow me to try to learn Xpath &#8211; useful when playing with scraping ;)</li>
<li><a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2489">CacheViewer</a> - This is an extra &#8211; for those times when you just know you saw a great picture, and can&#8217;t remember, or for finding videos ;)</li>
<li><a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1146">Screengrab</a> - My favorite of all screen grabbing software &#8211; uses the Mozilla engine to render a full page extremely fast, then you can go back at a later date to edit. Also own commercial Snagit, but this gets used more often.</li>
<li><a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/750">Roboform Toolbar for Firefox</a> - Don&#8217;t remember passwords, they just clog up your head</li>
<li><a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1419">IE Tab</a> &#8211; Essential for people who don&#8217;t want to load IE&#8230; ever</li>
<li><a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/8381">Evernote Web Clipper</a> - Saving complete pages for future reference &#8211; I am starting to use this more and more, planning for future blog posts and major projects</li>
<li><a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/636">PDF Download</a> - I download PDFs a lot, and it is annoying when you click a link and discover it is a PDF, and it tries to load in the browser &#8211; the view as HTML option doesn&#8217;t always work very well</li>
<li><a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4788">KGen</a> - Steal other people&#8217;s primary keywords</li>
<li><a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3863">iMacros for Firefox</a> - For when you want to automate things like submissions of articles, videos, social bookmarking etc</li>
<li><a href="http://www.redflymarketing.com/blog/google-global-view-results-different-locations/">Google Global</a> - I use this to check US/UK search results with personalized search off &#8211; especially useful when posting search results in a blog post and you want the reader to see roughly the same results as you do.</li>
<li><a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5369">YSlow</a> - How fast is your website, and how to fix it</li>
<li><a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748">Greasemonkey</a> - Need to add lots of cool plugins, found on Userscripts site &#8211; I will add an update to this post including essential Greasemonkey scripts at a later date</li>

<li><a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1843">Firebug</a> - The primary reason to add this is to use Yslow and Google&#8217;s Page Speed plugins, though currently I can&#8217;t find Page Speed listed &#8211; otherwise I really don&#8217;t need both this and Web Developer</li>
<li><a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3829">Live HTTP Headers</a> - For checking redirects, snagging cloaked affiliate IDs etc. Also great to find the location of videos supposedly being cloaked from Amazon S3 for download.</li>
<li><a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2464">FoxyProxy</a> &#8211; For people who want to be a little anonymous, or when for some reason you can&#8217;t access a site as you</li>
<li><a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/321">SearchStatus</a> - Can load in the status bar rather than as a full toolbar, thus I have this on all the time without consuming screen real estate</li>
<li><a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/9591">Power Twitter</a> - Can slow loading a bit, but makes the Twitter experience totally different</li>
<li><a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1730">ScribeFire Blog Editor</a> - I tend to use the WordPress interface more, due to lots of custom fields for SEO that need to be filled out &#8211; would be great if this somehow could work with Headspace.</li>
<li><a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5457">Shareaholic for Firefox</a> - If you really must use lots of social bookmarking sites</li>
<li><a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3615">Delicious Bookmarks</a> - For public bookmark sharing</li>
<li><a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/138">StumbleUpon</a> - Don&#8217;t forget to follow my stumbles on Stumpleupon <a href="http://andybeard.stumbleupon.com">http://andybeard.stumbleupon.com</a></li>

<h3>Not In Collection (Not on Mozilla)</h3>
<p><a href="http://tools.seobook.com/firefox/seo-for-firefox.html">SEO For Firefox</a> &#8211; for data when you need it</p>
<p><a href="http://tools.seobook.com/seo-toolbar/">SEO Toolbar</a> &#8211; for data while you surf</p>
<p><a href="http://www.freedownloadmanager.org/download.htm" target="_blank">Free Download Manager</a> &#8211; I have tried lots of others, but this is my download manager of choice, mainly because it remains free, is now open source, and has never had a corrupted database (a major factor)</p>
<p><a href="http://code.google.com/speed/page-speed/download.html">Google Page Speed</a> &#8211; New addition from Google to check out the speed of your web pages &#8211; strangely the thing which slows my blog down the most is their own Google Friend Connect bar at the bottom of the page.</p>
