So that is it for my top 10 SEO add-ons for Mozilla Firefox. I know there are many toolbars available which I have not covered because those might or might not be helpful to everyone. But I bet! The ones I have mentioned are useful for most of my readers.
There is one thing you should always keep in mind though: the more add-ons you install, the response from the Firefox will eventually get slower. And it’s not a rare fact that my browser gulps in memory of some gigabytes.
So make sure you choose the toolbars which you need the most, and which suits you.
Also make sure that you don’t have more than two or three toolbars installed – however, I really don’t want to stay without a great setup as it makes my daily routine work so much better organized.
