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.
