Want to make tagging your bookmarks as easy as clicking an icon? Tagmarks, the add-on for Firefox, hopes to do just that. The idea here is to bring one-click bookmarking in Firefox together with the tagging power of the browser.
With Tagmarks, you have a lot of different icons that popup whenever you hover over the traditional bookmarking star you see in the Firefox 3 address bar. When you click in each icon, it will add the page to the bookmarks and associate that icon with that page, through the use of tags.
Selecting one icon has the same effect as clicking on the bookmarking star. It will add the page to the bookmark. The perk here is that it will also apply a tag to the page and always remember and show that icon when you are at that page. Think of it as a visual tool for you too, to say for example, “oh that is a search magnifying glass, this must be a search site”.

You can pickup Tagmarks on the Firefox Add-ons site. It is still sandboxed, so if you need a login to download it, check out this list of user names and passwords you can use. Also check out the author of the add-on’s web site for more information on how to get the most out of Tagmarks.

Having a problem wrapping your mind around or searching through your del.icio.us links? The deliGoo service has you covered.
They will combine del.icio.us and Google search to create a search engine for your del.icio.us bookmarks.
After you install the Firefox extension you can add the button to your toolbar and get started. From there you can type in the user and/or tag you wish to search through and then the search term you are looking for.
DeliGoo really is a delicious search tool, in more ways than one.

With the new Visual Bookmarks Firefox extension you have a quick and painless way of adding thumbnail images to your bookmarks.
The extension lets you capture a part of a web page as an image, then add labels and tags to make a visual bookmark. You can then turn around and arrange them by that label or tag you added. Now if this comes in handy anywhere - it is for when you bookmark videos or image galleries that you want to come back to later.
It should also be noted that this uses a separate system from the existing Firefox bookmarks setup. Hopefully in future releases they will figure out a way to tie it in better.
I really like the look and feel of Visual Bookmarks. Not sure if it is helping me browse any faster, but it is nice to see those pages in one way, shape or form instead of having to say.. “Yeah, I think that was the one I wanted to click on”.

With all the social tools out there you have to manage your bookmarks, you might have had enough of it all. Stop the insanity man, because all this social stuff is getting on my last nerve, dude.
Ok, not really - but the Bookmark Tags extension is still a pretty neat one if you want bookmark tagging without the social experience other places provide.
Here is what the author of the Firefox extension has to say about it.
Bookmark Tags provides a different way of looking at your bookmarks: they’re “tagged” by the folders that contain them. Folders in different parts of the bookmarks hierarchy with the same name represent the same tag. Bookmark Tags therefore lets you manage your bookmarks in a non-hierarchical way.
All in all, I would say it is a good extension that delivers on the goal they promise, antisocial bookmark tagging in all its glory.

I often use Google’s “define:” search tag to find definitions of things from various different sources. It is a good way to find several points of view and not just one dictionary definition. That is why I was happy to find the Define extension for Firefox.
Search the definition of the highlighted text at Google. If there is highlighted text, a new option is added to the context menu. This option search the definition of the highlighted text at Google (like searching “define:some_text”).
To use it, all you need to do is highlight a word in your browser, right-click on it and select Define “yourword”. That’s it. Sometimes the more simple extensions out there are my absolute favorite.

Finding yourself short on words when it comes to describing that really cool Web page you just found via keywords?
Now usually one or two might do you, as far as keywords go. Every so often though, you just can’t think of any good ones to use. That is where the KGen extension for Firefox comes in.
KGen (Keyword Generator) is an extension that allows you to see what keywords are strong on visited web page. Than, you can retrieve them for social sharing (tag filling) or webmastering/SEO.
+ Download and Install the KGen Extension for Firefox!
