One benefit of using Firefox is that it has a community of third party developers designing some very useful (and free) add-ons for the browser's users.
We've taken a look at some SEO-related examples....

This tool from SEO Book adds further information to Google and Yahoo search results by telling you how and why particular websites are ranking.
Among the information listed is Page Rank, links from .edu sites, links from Yahoo Directory, domain age, and more. A useful tool.

Like SEO Book's add-on, SeoQuake makes research easier by providing information such as Page Rank, number of links, links from social media sites etc. Users can have the SEO information they want to view displayed in a toolbar.

This provides quick and easy access to Yahoo Site Explorer. Right click on a web page and select yExplore, and Site Explorer for that URL will be opened in a new tab.

This keyword generator allows you to see which keywords are strong on any webpage you visit, Ideal for checking out what your competitors are doing.
Like SeoQuake, this displays the Page Rank, Alexa and Compete rankings, but SearchStatus also displays keyword and no follow highlighting.
This tool automatically follows the links on a web pages, assessing the response of each URL.

It would be good to know how these tools are applied by search marketers and agencies alike. I have so many tools in play but none of them I feel I can rely on for useful insight. The majority are too US focussed for the UK market.
The best free tool on the market for SEO's is fiddlertool (www.fiddlertool.com). This tool logs all the HTTP traffic between a computer and the internet so you can check that pages are performing as efficiently as possible for SEO. It's particularly useful for verifying any redirects activity.

I've used most of the extensions but i've never heard about "SEO Quake". Will check it out
Another good one is a Web developer toolbar. Comes in handy
