Classic delicious extension for Firefox
The current latest version of official delicious add-on for Firefox replaces your standard browser bookmarks with bookmarks from your delicious account, besides providing useful buttons for bookmarking a page and bringing up your delicious bookmarks.
If you are interested in just adding the buttons and not the entire functionality provided by the official add-on, you might want to get the classic version. Unfortunately the add-on that page is not compatible with Firefox 3.0+. It has been modified to work with the latest Firefox by Micah Sittig and can be downloaded from here.
I have created a mirror for it here.
How the add-on works
The above add-on adds 2 buttons in Firefox like so:
Clicking on the
button takes you to your bookmarks page at delicious.com.
Clicking on the 
button brings up a window like so:
where you can enter description for the bookmark (up to 1000 characters) and your tags. The tags can either be selected from recommended list at the right or typed (suggests your existing ones as you type)
Setting up keyboard shortcut to bookmark a page to delicious
For faster bookmarking you might want set a keyboard shortcut like Ctrl+D (‘D’ for delicious) using the keyconfig add-on. Keyconfig is a pretty useful add-on for creating new and modifying existing keyboard shortcuts in Firefox. Here is a detailed tutorial on how to use keyconfig in Firefox.
Once you have keyconfig installed, bring it up by pressing Ctrl+Shift+F12 and search for an entry Tag this page. It will be assigned to "Ctrl+Shift+/" by default. To modify this shortcut, just select that entry, press your new key combo (Ctrl+D) and hit Apply. When you restart Firefox, the new keyboard shortcut is ready to use.

Nice guide! The new add-on also has a “Classic Mode” with just the buttons (no sidebar or toolbar) - if you have the new one installed, there’s an option for “Switch to Classic Mode” at the bottom of the Delicious menu.
