Sales and business development professionals spend hours in browsers researching prospects, tracking market news, and drafting outreach. Here are Firefox extensions that support a sales workflow without adding subscription overhead.
Market and company news monitoring
News Widget Dashboard — RSS feeds from your target market and prospect companies.
For sales teams, relevant feeds:
- Industry publications in your target vertical
- Prospect company news (many companies have press room RSS)
- Competitor news (product launches, funding announcements)
- LinkedIn Pulse and professional publications
Triggering events (a prospect raising a funding round, announcing an expansion, or launching a new product) are sales opportunities. RSS puts these events on your new tab without manually checking each company.
Prospect research tabs
Tab Manager — save named sets of research tabs per prospect or account.
Deep account research might require: the company's LinkedIn, their product page, recent news articles, their technology stack (BuiltWith, G2 reviews), and your CRM notes. Tab Manager saves this context so you restore the full research when you pick the account back up.
Outreach writing
AI Writing Assistant — grammar checking for cold emails, LinkedIn messages, and proposals that runs locally. For sensitive prospect information, local processing keeps the content private.
Daily pipeline tasks
Daily Planner — today's pipeline activities on the new tab. "Follow up with Prospect A," "Send proposal to Company B," "Prep for 3pm discovery call."
Stock data for public company prospects
Stock Market Dashboard — if your prospects are public companies, their stock performance can signal timing for outreach. A company experiencing strong growth is more receptive to investment.
Voice capture after discovery calls
Voice Notes — after a discovery call, before you open your CRM, capture the key pain points and next steps verbally. The audio ensures nothing is lost before the formal notes.
These are part of a series of 11 Firefox extensions I built — see the full series.
