Autofill Forms enables you to fill out web forms with one click or a keyboard shortcut. A set of customizable rules is used to determine the input for each form element.

4. KGen
Keyword Generator allows you to extract strong keywords from any web page. Rightly enough, titles and header tags are given more strength. Check out your competitors keywords, make sure yours are optimized, or possibly use it to fill out social networking “tags” fields.
5. Niche Watch Tool
Extension requires a simple username & password registration. Once signed in this tool allows you to compare your domain name with the top 10 Google search results for a given keyword. Numerous important SEO statistics are displayed in this Firefox addon.
