Digg Firefox Extension is a an uber cool addon which integrates into Firefox’s main toolbar and displays information about the current page, like the current number of Diggs, the number of comments on the story, the last 10 comments, the last 10 diggers, and so on. Cool!

3: Digg Toolbar

Digg Toolbar is like a virtual Digg in itself. While using this toolbar, you can do all the things you can do on the Digg site. It gives alerts when stories go popular, friends Digg or submit or comment on your stories and more! It also tells you the current number of Diggs on a particular page, and if it has not been submitted yet, it shows a Submit button

4: Smart Digg Button

The Smart Digg Button is a nifty and simple extension for Firefox, and displays the number of Diggs the current page has, and if not, a Submit button.

Compatibility: Firefox version 1.5 – 2.0.0.*

Unfortunately, it is not yet available for Firefox 3.
