Here's a bunch of bookmarklets that I use every day in Firefox. I highly recommend them. To use these, drag each one individually into your Favorites or Links toolbar (in IE), or your bookmarks folder/toolbar in Firefox. (Hint: in Firefox you can also assign a single keystroke to each. Then all you need to do is type that letter in the address field and hit enter and the bookmarklet activates.)
