First of all, I do not mean you should use all these extensions, of course. This will slow down your FireFox immensely. Choose the one you like most and stick to it.
1. Flagfox - displays the country flag (based on an IP address) in the status bar for you to see the domain server location. Additional information (IP address and country) is displayed when you hover over the flag. The extension menu also provides quick access to more detailed Whois data.
2. Domain Details extension adds a little button to FireFox status bar that provides a list of handy Whois resources and tools:
- Copy domain name IP address;
- IP details;
- IP map;
- Other TLDs;
- Domain Whois.
3. Show Location addon also shows (and lets you copy to clipboard) IP details when hovered over:
4. Geolocation Plugin shows IP information (domain IP address, country, city) for any external link you hover over on a page:

Ann, I can recommend your first suggestion, FlagFox. It’s unobtrusive but there very clearly in the address field when you need it. I’ve been using it for some time and find I’m often checking out anomalies. It will even flag when the server is in a different country from the TLD. For example when I Google something it points out that the domain google.ca is hosted in the US.

I have only ever used ShowIP [ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/590 ] as that did exactly what I needed it to.
However, Flagfox also looks to be quite useful in other ways. Might give it a go.

@g1smd, I used it too but it seems not to work in FireFox 3

I just installed FlagFox. What a great tool! I chose that because of the auto-display of the flag (either in the address bar or status bar - user’s choice) in the browser. I like having access to the country information immediately without even having to click on anything. Nice!
