Wired Marker is like a collection of highlighter pens for marking web pages inside Firefox.
You can use Wired Marker to highlight text, images or any other portion of a web page and the information get saved locally along with the URL of the page.
Here are a few reasons why Wired Marker scores over most other scrapbook extensions:
a. When you highlight a page, the exact position of that text is also recorded so the next time you open that page, Wired Marker will automatically highlight the same portions again.
b. If a page includes several blocks of highlighted text, you can still easily navigate through the pages using a color coded vertical scroll bar as shown above.
c. If you aren’t too happy with the default markers, there’s an option to create your own custom pens.
Wired Marker - The extension is developed in Japan as part of a government sponsored project. Give it a try.

Nice info Amit.
A similar FF add-on ‘HIGHLIGHTER’ has the same functionality. Nice ones to use with FF!

If you are using Firefox, you should consider the Scrapbook extension. It is a good alternative, and is a good way to store bookmarks.

Yawas is another highlighted, but it stores your highlights on Google bookmarks, so when you move between machines, you get still get your highlights recreated. But I like Wired Marker’s scrollbar, which makes it easy to see that you have highlights even when yours highlights are hidden from view. Nice post!
