If you like to print any HTML page to PDF, you can use:
1 Save As option built into your browser (results sometimes are not well depending on browser)
2 Adobe Acrobat Professional to print your URL to PDF-file (not good result, broken page layout)
3 PrintScreen (click PrintScreen button)
- open any image editor, online or off-line and save it in any image format you like
- open printscreened image with Adobe Acrobat Professional and save it as PDF
4 online HTML To PDF converters:
PDF Online (free demo) - prints files, URL's
HTML2PDF (service demo) - should be edited, adds banner
5 Standalone programs of your choice
- Webgrabber
- ClickToConvert
- IntraPDF
Please, note that Image-To-PDF conversion doesn't allow you further text editing. Use for that OCR-function built into Adobe Acrobat.
For editing try PDF-online editor.

If you like to submit sitemap to search engines without opening a special account, for example at Google Webmaster Central, you can submit sitemap 'by hand'.
Simply enter into browser:
<searchengine_URL>/ping?sitemap=sitemap_url
So, for example, if your sitemap here
http://www.mysite.com/sitemap.xml)
you submit: <searchengine_URL>/ping?sitemap=http://www.mysite.com/sitemap.xml
Also you can add one line into robots.txt file:
Sitemap: <sitemap_location>
for example:
Sitemap: http://www.mysite.com/sitemap.xml

Wide range of Firefox extensions or add-ons are what web developers like. Especially in SEO field, for Mobile design or daily general tasks. Sooth to say, I use mainly online SEO Tools (just to compare results ;), but at the same time I like to use handy Firefox Add-ons built in. After launching FF2 they become hardworking tools for any webmaster, including SEO Freelancer. Below are list of extensions which many people found useful.
For non-SEO related work check Top 15 Firefox Extensions by PCMag.
Who loves Firefox can advance it.
Download Firefox.
