Measuring a page’s Google PR is important if you are doing online marketing. Although PR is not the only element in a successful online marketing campaign it is a good indicator of how Google “views” your site.
Unfortunately Google’s toolbar only works with Internet Explorer on Windows, so measuring PR on any other platform is awkward.
I came across a handy extension for Firefox today that deals with this issue:
Google Pagerank Status
Unlike the IE version this simply provides the page rank in the status bar (bottom right of screen)
See below for examples:
Example 1: Simple PR details.
Example 2 : Advanced PR details with directory details
A very handy extension if you don’t use Internet Explorer as your main browser. The only concern I would have is if the Google side of things changes so much that the extension ceases to work.

Firefox extensions for displaying Google Page Rank
I looked through the various extensions for Firefox when I upgraded to version 1.0 to find new toys! I came across a very handy extension called Search Status which displays both the Google and Alexa page rank of the webpage being browsed.
