For those of you who use Firefox as your browser of choice, here are a few add-ons that you might consider implementing to aid your browsing and online research.
 
Read it later
Use Read It Later to mark places online that you want to come back to, but for more of a one time use. In other words, you don't need to bookmark the page and save it for all time but you do want a reminder to come back and finish examining something on the page. I like to think of it as dogearing instead of bookmarking (not that I condone that sort of behavior).
 
Find In Tabs
Find In Tabs searches across the content on all of your open tabs for your search terms. If you tend to open many tabs and lose track of what is where along the way, then you might find this add-on useful to quickly track down what you need out of all your open tabs.
 
Surf Canyon
Be thorough and extend your search with Surf Canyon. This add-on will perform searches across several additional search engines (beyond the ubiquitous Google), just click on the bull's eye icon on the Google search results screen to see additional results.
 
This post at the Res Ipsa Blog lists these plus several other helpful add-ons that you might want to consider installing.
