8 Awesome Firefox Plugins for Twitter

1. Twitbin
The latest plugin in this bunch is very new, and we’ve covered it here on Mashable. Twitbin can be used to send and receive messages from Twitter, it’s a sidebar (which, unfortunately, means it’s occupying the space where most users like to keep their bookmarks) and it looks quite nice.

2. Tweetbar
Tweetbar works with both Firefox and Flock,and just like Twitbin, it’s a sidebar-based plugin which you can use to send and receive messages from Twitter. It opens with a keyboard shortcut: Ctrl + Shift + T, or Cmd + Shift + T for Mac users (which is not that good, because it collides with one of Firefox’s newer functions: open recently closed tab). You can also find it in View - Sidebar - Tweetbar.

3. TwitterNotifier
As the name suggests, TwitterNotifier notifies you with updates from your Twitter friends. Instead of being located in the sidebar, it’s activated with a small icon in the right bottom corner of Firefox. Of course, you can also send Tweets with it. Also, when your friends write new tweets, a small balloon box appears in the right-bottom corner in a browser window. If you click it, your friend’s Twitter page will open in a new tab.

4. TwittyTunes
If you think that the world should know exactly which song are you listening to at any given time, then TwittyTunes is the plugin for you. It works with the FoxyTunes Firefox extension (but it’s not obligatory; it just won’t post music info without it), and it allows you to automatically post your currently playing songs to Twitter. Furthermore, you can also let everyone know what website you’re currently viewing, and what videos you’re watching (be careful there, you might not want people to know you’re currently viewing Me So Asian 3).

5. Ludicrous
For those who don’t like sidebar-based plugins, Ludicrous might be the ideal solution. It allows you to post updates to Twitter directly from your Firefox search bar. Once again, standard safety measures apply: don’t forget to change your Firefox search bar to a search engine, otherwise you might accidentally post your search query to Twitter.

6. Another Firefox search bar plugin
We’re not sure that this plugin even has a name, but it works quite similar to Ludicrous. Just click the link and it will be added to your search bar, from which you can now send Tweets.

7. Twitterbar
If you like Ludicrous, but you constantly find yourself accidentally sending your search queries to Twitter, you might want to try out Twitterbar. It is basically the same thing, with an important difference: you post tweets from your address bar, not the search bar. Simply type in the address bar, and then click on the small grey icon on the right, which will tell you how many characters you have left as well as let you post the tweet.

8. Power Twitter by 30 Boxes
The plugin for power users comes from 30 boxes, and it’s named accordingly: Power Twitter. Instead of adding functionality to Firefox, it adds features to your actual Twitter page; it embeds Flickr and YouTube, shows you the true addresses of tinyurls, maps links to web page titles. Additionally, it maps user information from 30 boxes, so you can get the latest updates and additional info for those Twitter friends who use 30 boxes.
