Time to have us a good old extension cage match. In one corner you have the Hawaiian punch of the link sharing world - Mahalo Share. In the other, weighing in with way too many link sharing resources is Shareaholic. Here is what each brings to the table…
Mahalo Share - Share and recommend Web pages across many different services; recommend a link once and have it automatically posted to any of Twitter, del.icio.us, MySpace, Ma.gnolia, Jaiku, your Tumblr blog, Facebook, Pownce, StumbleUpon, Mahalo, Faves, or Google Bookmarks.
Shareaholic - Found something awesome online and can’t wait to pass it on? Tired of copying and pasting endless URLs? Shareaholic allows you to share, bookmark, and e-mail web pages quickly via a wide array of web 2.0 social websites without cluttering up your browser!
For those looking for a smaller addon, that is simple and get the job done, I would recommend Mahalo Share. Fore the people wanting an add-on that does a little ‘bit of everything in one spot, then for you we have Shareaholic. Both have their advantages so I am afraid I would have to call this one a draw.

It seems like I am always doing research on one thing or another, for a future article or a future project of mine. There are not that many tools out there to help you collect your information and save it for later. The ScrapBook extension for Firefox is one of the few. It is simple and also allows to save web pages and organize them as you see fit.
Here are some of the features ScrapBook provides…
If you find yourself in the need of a better note taker, then you might want to pick up the ScrapBook add-on for Firefox.
I have had a few friend and read a few horror stories Online about people who for one reason or another have lost their Firefox bookmarks and had to start all over. What they were not aware of is that you may not have totally lost your Firefox boomarks at all. There are backups hidden within your PC that I bet you haven’t even checked yet.
First thing you need to do is find your profile folder for Firefox. Depending on your operating system this may be in a different location. If you are unsure, be sure to check out this previous post: Where is my Firefox Profile Folder?
Once you make it in there you should see a folder named “bookmarkbackups”. Double-click that folder, and there you have some of your saved boomkarks that you thought you had lost waiting for you to restore them. To restore your bookmarks, you can launch Firefox, then go to “File” and then “Import”.
Also if you want to live a little more on the dangerous side (first make sure Firefox isn’t running) you could copy one of the bookmark backups, rename it “bookmarks.html” and place it inside of your profile folder replacing the one that is not right. As a bonus, if you need more help on how to backup Firefox using other tools - be sure to check out this previous most wanted post from the Firefox Facts archives.
The Next Tab add-on for Firefox solves an issues I deal with everyday. We have all run into the situation where we are opening up a link and we have many tabs open already. Now to see that new link would you rather scroll sideways all the way to the end of the list of have it open up beside your current tab? Most people would say, “Hey Mitch, open that link up beside of course!”.
According to the developer, Next Tab is…
An add-on that improves the tabbed browsing. Naturally, we want all related tabs grouped together. So when you are a opening a new tab, you might want to open it right next to the current tab. This is a small, light weight extension that does the same. Usage: When you right click on a link, you will get an option to “open the link next to current tab” in the context menu. Click on it and the tab will be opened right next to the current tab.
So for those of use who spend our time browsing back and forth through multiple tabs, there is now an easier way to open the next link in a tab right next to your first one.
