Nzbed/plugin
From tiberious.org
NZBed
A Firefox/Opera browser extension that automatically fills in the information of a report on v3.newzbin.com from the release name of a TV, Film, Game, Console, Music or Anime post; or a tvrage, imdb, gamespot, allmusic or anidb url.
Uses the NZBed api.
Note: In the firefox version the Category does get set, but it does not make the correct attributes appear, so you may need to re-select it to view them
NZBed is there to help you, not replace you
see these Nzbed#Tests for examples of what works and what does not

Menu Explaination
NZBed Autofill
This function takes the selected text, and looks up the information from the websites listed, and fills in the report with the information it has found.
It also supports url's.
It uses the category selected by default.
Fill (category)
This function does the same as the AutoFill, but forces a particular category, allowing you to choose which category the selected text is without changing the category at the top. This also ignores any caches, so if you wish to force a cache update, use these.
Dumb Fill
This function takes the text selected, strips out any attributes and fills in the report information with what is left. This does not look anything up.
Search Usenet
Takes the selected text and searches the usenet part of newzbin with it.
