Mozbar and Firefox: Feedback please!
-
Hey MozBar fans, we're thinking of focusing more on Chrome and moving away from Firefox. Our reasons:
- Maintaining two platforms increases development cost.
- Each new Firefox version released takes up to a month to be approved by the Mozilla store.
- There is not as much design flexibility in Firefox.
But we would love your feedback before we make our final decision on this. Would you still use the MozBar as frequently if it was only available in Chrome? Thanks!
-
Hi Mike- yes, this would definitely be included.
Thanks!

If i had specific investigations to carry out i would jump on Chrome and likely use it, as i do now with other tools, yes.
-
Important:
If you do this, please can you add the 'export to csv' feature to Chrome? Currently I don't see it there, so use Firefox for that
If I lost the ability to do the csv export of serps... I'd be upset! Still wouldn't moan too much as Moz has so much else that's great, but I would be upset none the less!
-
I use Chrome and always check moz bar on my searches. Sometimes on a second search on the same keywords on chrome when i add my web branded searches name moz bar does not appear.
But anyway great job.
-
Thanks for feedback! Do you think you would stop using the toolbar completely? Or would you use it in Chrome?
-
Firefox is my primary browser and would be a real shame to lose this functionality, find it very usefull for spotting things during normal browsing and work. Understand why you want to do this however but from my selfish point of view its a shame.
-
Use chrome so cant say I will miss the firefox one much, especially if more awesomeness added! (sorry guys!).
-
or visa versa...
-
I too use Firefox, so would be a shame to loose it, but can understand your reasoning. Maybe if the 100% was put into the Chrome version to make it even more awesome then it would be ok I suppose (if you must).
-
I use Firefox along with most of my colleagues and would much prefer it on Firefox, as mentioned it is nice to have options but I'd hate to see it go to Chrome only.
-
Use chrome regularly but I DO like having the option

Hi Kerri,
I use Firefox as my main browser, but I do have a handful of Chrome only toolbars and extensions that I will use if the need arose. Personally I prefer all my favorite tools on my main browser (especially the PA and DA on MozBar) but it's not the end of the world if I need to head over to Chrome for a session.
Thank goodness for multiple monitors!

How to stop Mozbar ha crashing Firefox and Chrome
I normally use Mozbar in Firefox (latest version 40.0.3) on Windows 7 64-bit. I've never had any problems with it before but just at the start of September I started getting multiple crash events in Firefox - it would crash, restart, instantly crash and so on. I worked through all plugins and turned them off one by one. Nothing worked - if the Mozbar was active Firefox crashed. I then switched to Chrome and installed Mozbar (and nothing else). The same thing started to happen - Chrome now crashes all the time. I've also do a complete virus scan with up to date software and nothing was found. This is seriously starting to do my head in as I can't work without Mozbar but it's just constantly crashing. Any ideas? Suggestions?

MozBar is displaying different numbers than Moz Pro
We have over 15 accounts with Moz Pro, and I just noticed that almost every single one has a different DA when comparing the MozBar to their campaign. Any idea why this is? The DA of most of our sites seems to have dropped across the board, in some cases somewhat severely.

MozBar 3.1.54 released: Spam Score and Smart Icon
Hey guys! We just launched MozBar version 3.1.54 for Chrome. 2 exciting new features: we now have Spam Score integrated into the MozBar (for Logged In users) the MozBar icon itself will now show DA when the MozBar is off. Click the icon to toggle this state (you can also click again to turn it completely off) We also fixed a few bugs, and removed Google Authorship from the Markup tab. Those of you who already have the MozBar installed, it will automatically update. For those new to the MozBar - you can download it here - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/mozbar/eakacpaijcpapndcfffdgphdiccmpknp?hl=en Also big shout out to all of our MozBar users, we are now at 243k Chrome Installs. A full 110k increase from the version 3 launch in June last year. Thank you all! Love to hear your feedback below! Jon

Mozbar - SERP Control Panel - Export to CSV - Update
Hi I asked a question on 22nd Sep and 16th October about Mozbar: "I have been exporting SERP results using the Mozbar, but I don't get PA and DA data even though this is shown in the SERP overlay. The data is shown in excel as being 'undefined'. Anyone else having this problem?" I was told that this was a known issue and a fix would be available within weeks. Is there any update on when this update is likely? Thanks again for your assistance. Neil

"Sorry! We weren't able to find that page when we crawled your site." Please help!
Can someone please explain whey I am getting this error for this link "http://lensoutloud.com/san-antonio-real-estate-photography/" when I attempt to perform an on page SEO grading? The link is indexed and ranking very well but for some reason Moz says it can't find the page when it crawled my site. This has also happened when I attempt to grade other pages on my site. Thanks in advance!
