NoDoFollow - A Firefox Extension
NEW AND IMPROVED NODOFOLLOW UPDATED FOR FIREFOX 3! Download HERE
Well, I’m not going to get too heavily into the debate over whether or not to nofollow your internal links, but thinking about how I would go about doing it, I decided that it would be helpful to see all the links on the page, and if they were dofollow or nofollow links. So I present NoDoFollow, a simple firefox extension that highlights the links on the page, color coded according to their follow status.
Here is a screenshot of what it looks like when activated (Thanks, Matt Cutts. I knew I would find some nofollow links on your blog):
The extension installs into your tools and right click menu and highlights the links pinkish red for nofollow, and light blue for dofollow.
I hope that someone finds this useful. I have at least one friend who was asking for this since he wants to try and test using nofollow on internal links.
If you find NoDoFollow useful, or have comments, bug reports, or other requests, please comment here, and I’ll see what I can do to help you out!

I’m glad I searched enough to find this plugin here, I saw a comment somewhere about someone who uses a plugin to show follows as blue and nofollows as red, it must have been yours so thanks for a useful plugin, I wanted it to see if my dofollow plugin was working and also to see if my own commentluv plugin was providing proper links to the commenters last blog post, it does! yey

Thanks for making this available. The previous extension I used was very large and required a ton of memory.

i will give it a try cause…
i can never keep track of which one of my 20+ greasmonkey & firefox addons are handling no-follow highlighting between several pc’s.
and when one goes down or is corrupted by another extension i spend the most time looking for the very important “highlight nofollow” option

Any plans on upgrading it to Firefox 3?
June 19th, 2008 at 10:08 am
I am aware that it doesn’t work on FF3 … I’ll be releasing a new version, hopefully by next week.
June 22nd, 2008 at 8:29 am
Oh man, only for your plug-in I am trying to go back to Firefox 2.0 - waiting for the new version eagerly!

Was very disappointed to find your tool not working on FF3. I eagerly await the update!

Re: FF3 version
Many thanks Zachary…much apreciated.
June 25th, 2008 at 11:20 am
New version available - Compatible with FF 2 and 3. Also, it’s now a global setting, so turning on NoDoFollow will highlight all the currently open pages, and will stay active until you turn it off. Should be even more convenient for everyone now.
June 26th, 2008 at 3:17 pm
Thanks for very useful add-on!
