highlighting

When I read something I need to underscore what I like, or what I think is important, and to take notices about that read, near on that current paragraph.

So, does anyone know a Firefox add-on or something else (another browser, any other application) which can provide me such a functionality?

ps: I've tried some research tools as Zotero, but it is not what I'm looking for.
