Must Have Firefox Extensions
Over a developers time, you aquire a taste for the right tools. Some are more useful than others, and some you just can’t live without. Here are my minimum requirements for a suitable Firefox browser capable of developing and debugging todays websites:
- ColorZilla - The very handy color selector tool that sits in the statusbar.
- Download Statusbar - Downloading just isn’t the same without this gem.
- Firebug - If you don’t know what this is you are really missing out. Not just for Javascript developers, this tool can manipulate the dom allowing you to hack websites, if that’s your thing…
- HTML Validator - This validator is handy for getting your HTML up to spec.
- IE View Lite - Ever wanted to view a page in IE but couldn’t be bothered copying and pasting te URL?
- MeasureIt - A cool measuring tool for the browser.
- Web Developer - Also an essential tool, with many features for programmers.
