If you are looking for free SEO tools, you can use these FireFox Add-ons made for Search Engine Optimization (or SEO FireFox Plugins if you will) for your regular day-to-day SEO work.
Here are the FireFox SEO Tools I use at work:
- SEOQuake
A very nice tool to check a webpage’s Google PageRank, number of pages indexed by Google, MSN, number of backlinks indexed by Yahoo Site Explorer, Alexa Ranking, Domain Age, Whois and so much more. Once activated, it can be integrated on Google SERPs. It slows down search engine results loading time on my end but very useful when doing competitor research. - SearchStatus
A lighter version of SEOQuake and a good alternative if you are simply checking a web page’s Google PR and Alexa Ranking. - Rank Checker
Aaron Wall’s Search Engine Rank checker, this tool can help in checking a webpage’s rank of a specific keyword. Since a site’s rank vary from one datacenter to another, this is a good tool to give you an idea (but not a definite rank) on how your site is ranking on top 3 Search Engines: Google, Yahoo and MSN. - Web Developer Toolbar
A very useful tool for SEOs and Web Developers where you can view a page without CSS, JavaScripts, Cache, Images and a lot more. - RoboForm Toolbar
A form filler tool, useful for directory submission work as well as password storage. - InFormEnter
Similar to RoboForm, this is a simpler form filler where you can fill any form using stored data.
More FireFox SEO Add-ons will be added as soon as I review each FireFox SEO Plugin out there.
This is one of many reasons I cannot switch from FireFox to Google Chrome :-)

competitive blewing for google, alexa! Says:
Firstly, in Snapshot one can compare only three sites. Secondly, sites with less that 10000 uniques are excluded and thirdly, this is available only for the US audience. These three limitations still keep Google the favorite followed by Alexa.

yes, its really amazing how firefox improved for these years. IE may hav become obsolete if only it is not embedded in Windows core. it even help our customer to check if their site improved with just a click away and we communicate well. as a result, all our efforts for seo services were appreciated immediately.
