Multi-tasking is something moms, especially those online, master pretty quickly. That doesn’t mean we can’t use a little help along the way. There are so many Firefox add-ons to explore that are extremely useful to Moms and some are just downright fun to use.

The following will help moms (and dads) be more productive, less stressed, and in some cases, make them feel like they have their own personal assistant. These five get kudos for broad appeal, ease of use, and increasing productivity. The fact that they’re extremely mom-friendly is what got them on the list.

WebMynd Search Assistant I just discovered this add-on recently. It rocks! I don’t know about you, but sometimes when I’m browsing around searching for something, I realize there’s a page I want to go back to but can’t remember what it was or how I found it. WebMynd basically records the web pages you’ve visited and whenever you do a Google Search it shows past sites you discovered through the search term as well as, get this, related Tweets!

Not sure you want every web page you visit recorded in this way? No worries, WebMynd lets you turn off the recording feature at will. Moms with constant interruptions will love this add-on, think of it as a DVR for your browser.

Google Toolbar. For a lot of folks, this is the first one added because they use Gmail or the Google Gadget. However, this is a great toolbar even if you aren’t a big Google App user because you can do a search right within the toolbar. And since Google Page Rank is something a lot of Mom bloggers and Mompreneurs are concerned about, the pagerank button on the toolbar gives you instant visual status of any website’s, including yours and your competitors’, page rank.

WiseStamp Email Signature. This Firefox add-on lets you customize your signature and add icons for your favorite social media profiles. Users can create one for personal and one for business then set a default.

BlogRovr. This very useful Firefox add-on takes your Google Searches and shows results within your favorite blogs.  The window with the results slides out on top of your Google Search results making it accessible while not being too intrusive.  BlogRovr also suggests popular items and lets you tweet within the add-on too.  Mommy bloggers will find this is a great tool for discovering similar content in their niche.

Signatures come out looking so much sleeker and dare I say, prettier, with WiseStamp. And it lives on the bottom toolbar of your Firefox browser making it easy to toggle back and forth between signatures as needed. Moms who work from home will appreciate the flexibility and versatility of this one.

Zemanta. This Firefox add-on functions as a personal blogging assistant for me. Not only does Zemanta suggest images, links, and tags for my posts based on the content, it also gives me related blog posts that I can link to at the end of my posts, making my content that much richer.

The related images Zemanta suggests helps so much in that users don’t have to search for an image to use in the post if they don’t have one already. Plus, with all the related link posting going on, the more people that use it, the more it happens. This nifty plug-in makes the time I spend blogging more productive.
