One of the things that make Firefox such a popular browser is the number of useful addons available for its users. These addons not only make your browsing experience much more enjoyable, but they can also make your life a lot easier. In this article I will summarise for you 5 addons in particular which are definite time savers.
1. Colorful Tabs
This simple, yet effective addon is a must have for marketers in my opinion. When you click to open a new tab it opens directly beside the tab in a unique color. This can be very useful because it allows for related tabs to be grouped together so they are easily accessible. You will find this a very handy addon to have because it will make browsing so much easier and certainly colorful.

2. Lastpass Password Manager
Are you sick and tired of remembering every password for your social bookmarking sites, wordpress logins and forums? Then Lastpass is the ideal addon for you. Lastpass can best be described as a free online password manager which allows you to save any passwords inside its vault. To access the vault all that is required for you to remember is one master password.
The advantage is that whenever you enter a website you have already signed up for, it automatically enters in your username and password. This is another very good addon that can save you a great deal of time and effort recording your passwords. Recommended.

3. SEOQuake SEO Extension
SEOQuake is one of my personal favorite addons for firefox because it makes niche marketing so much easier. Why SEOQUAKE is so effective is because allows you to analyze each listing on the search engine results page – taking into consideration pagerank, backlinks, age and much more. By using this addon you can judge the strength of your competitors to decide whether or not you can rank your site on the first page of Google. SEOQuake is a very worthwhile addon to access in your browser.

4. Morning Coffee
Often when you turn on your computer in the morning you will go through your normal routine. For example you may open up your affiliate accounts, check your statistics, your email and so on. Going through this routine all takes time and when you’re half asleep it sometimes can be difficult to remember which sites to open. That’s where the Morning Coffee addon can be very useful because you can save a list of sites that you frequently visit by clicking on “Add to my morning coffee”.
Now when you wake up, all you need to do is to click “load my morning coffee” and hey presto – all the sites you requested to be saved open in tabs and begin loading. A really ingenious and handy addon.

5. Fire FTP
If you have web hosting and are managing a number of sites then you need a FTP client to upload your files to an FTP server. Fire FTP does this job perfectly because it allows you to easily upload files to your web host. A good addon and what’s more it’s free.

Conclusions:
The 5 free addons I have outlined in this article are only some of what are available to internet marketers. However, if you are pressed for time (like I often am) and have a list of things to do you will find them ideal in saving you valuable time. If you are not using any of these addons then I recommend you give them a try. Like me, I’m sure you will be pleasantly surprised how effective they can be in making life a lot easier for you.
