Not sure that you need a plug-in or extension, I just use this bookmarklet:
javascript:location.href='org-
protocol://capture://x/'+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+'/'+encodeURIComp
onent(document.title)+'/'+encodeURIComponent(prompt('Tags?'))
It prompts for the tags, which I separate with ":" (to be org-like).
This works fine in Chromium and I would think Firefox too.
Then it calls this capture template:
("x" "Browser Capture to Incoming"
entry
(file+headline "~/Org/bookmarks.org" "Incoming")
"* %c :%i:"
:immediate-finish t)
This makes bookmarks of the form:
* [[url][title]] :tags:
but of course you can change that with the template.
