Cool Firefox extensions for webmasters

  • Web Developer - The
    absolute must-have extension for anyone who builds web sites, no matter how small or few and far between.
  • MeasureIt - No more eyeballing pixel widths!
  • ColorZilla – I shudder to think back on the huge
    PITA of getting hex codes for colors before this lovely extension… taking a screenshot, pasting it into Photoshop,
    using the eyedropper tool… how much time have I saved because of it? (Answer: lots.)
  • FireBug – As mentioned on The Javascript
    Weblog
    ; just darn useful.
  • IE View – All the maddening
    bugs of IE without actually having to launch the browser. (With the caveat that it doesn’t do me much good on my Mac at
    work, where I don’t have IE/Mac installed.)
  • Live HTTP
    Headers
    – Go along for the ride from user interface to server and back, making all local stops.
  • EditCSS – Modify currently  loaded stylesheets.
  • Cookie
    Crumbler
    - Convenient way to quickly clear cookies from a domain.
  • Clear Cache Button -
    Another small convenience that makes a big difference.
