Whats the use of Firefox "no nofollow" plug in?

I use it for posting comments/replies in Newspaper articles/blogs/forums. I use to not post where there were no-follow tags....that's if you believe in no-follows and google.

I highly suggest you try Wordtracker as you will find some gems. This is a must for any Marketer online.
