Firefox Add-ons

I've put together a list of helpful baseball related add-ons for the Firefox web browser.

First up is a list of search bar engines:

Plugin Icon ESPN MLB Player
Plugin Icon Baseball Reference
Plugin Icon Rotoworld Baseball
Plugin Icon Baseball Cube
Plugin Icon Alex Reisner Baseball Stats

If you have other sites that you'd like a search plugin for let me know in the comments and I'll make one up for that site.

Now that you've installed all those search bar plugins, a quick way to search player names is to highlight a players name within a web and right click and select the "Web Search for" option. This will search using the search engine that is showing in your search bar.


A handy extension to search selected text from any of your installed search engines instead of just the default is the Context Search extension.


Search Engine Ordering is an extension that lets you arrange your search engine plugins in any order and delete unused ones with a right click.


I'll add to this list if I think of any other helpful extensions or tips.

The links to the search bar plugins were broken - now they're fixed.
