Therefore in preparation for the huge shopping season it may be a wise idea to learn to make the most of Amazon: find best tools to be able to brainstorm awesome gift ideas as well as save time and money.
Here are the 10 most useful Amazon addons for FireFox – if you are aware of any more, please comment!
1. Official Amazon Addon
The obvious way to start the list of Amazon FireFox addons is to list the official one. Add to Amazon Wish List is a nice tool that allows you to:
- Quickly add any item from any website to your Amazon Wish List (it pre-fills the product details like name and pricing);
- Easily access the search feature to look for Amazon customer reviews and discussions, products, Wish Lists and registries, and more
2. Amazon Search + Suggestions
This addon is one of the most usable and clutter-free out there: it installs a nice search field in your browser toolbar and enhances Amazon search with suggestions:
Besides, it provides a quick and easy way to change the target country you search in!
3. Track Prices
Do you want to buy something but waiting for the possible price drop? Price Drop is a shopping companion for Amazon: it adds a link to each product on Amazon offering you to track its price. If you enable tracking, you’ll get a notification if its price drops.
Addon Features:
- Track Amazon products with one click of a mouse.
- Check out your tracked product list you are tracking: click the drop icon, or the Tools->PriceDrop menu.
4. eBay Spy
eBay Spy is the fastest way and the most fun way to compare Amazon and eBay prices. Just launch it any time you on any product page at Amazon and see the related deals at eBay!
5. The Camelizer
The Camelizer provides graphs of price changes over time of Amazon products. The chart loads when you view a product, appears on top of the page and is toggle-able (so it doesn’t get in your way).
The Camelizer also places a Track Product button on the product pages so that you can create a price watch on our site. These are used to receive alerts when prices drop on products you want, and you can receive these alerts via email, Twitter, and/or RSS feed.
6. Amazon Button
This can be the great Amazon navigation assistant! The Amazon Button lets you:
- Easily navigate popular amazon destinations (Sign in, My Cart, My Account)
- Visually Browse best sellers/most gifted items (Best sellers, Most Gifted Items, Shakers and Movers)
- Customize Menu Items (User can add up to three custom menu items)
- Search Amazon using context menu (In the browser, highlight any text, right click, and choose “Search Amazon for ….”)
- Custom Button Destination (User can customize the destination of the “main button” itself)
7. Amazon Sidebar Discount Search
This addon is by far the most fun way to find discounts in any category. Not sure what exactly you want to buy but feel like shopping today? Just choose the category and specify the discount amount. Optionally you can specify:
- Keywords,

- Shipping options and promos;
- Sorting options:
8. Does Amazon Ship to …?
Does Amazon Ship to …? – this simply awesome addon lets you quickly check if the item can be shipped to your country or region.
9. PictureFox
PictureFox is Amazon product image gallery enhancer. It makes accessing and viewing high-resolution images easier and more fun:

- Display of a larger preview image while hovering a product link / image.
10. Amazon Assist
AmazonAssist is another official amazon addon that follows you around the web and connects you to Amazon whereever you are. It searches Amazon.com as you search the web and delivers product information to your browser when you need it. With it you can access product details, ratings and latest prices from anywhere on the web.
It displays the related results at the bottom of your browser. Hover over any of them to see the product details. For “Dell” search, for example, we get the list of Dell laptops with the price details:
