Nine must-have Firefox extensions for Web Developers

February 20th, 2006 by mike downey Leave a reply »

The CSS Weblog has compiled a list of the top nine must-have (free) Firefox extensions for Web Developers.

My three favorites:

Web Developer – A collection of useful tools for manipulating cookies, style sheets, forms, images, and so forth.

MeasureIt – A very handy tool that, once activated via a button at the bottom of your browser, allows you to click and drag a selection around any item in the browser while it reads you out the dimensions.

ColorZilla – A great eyedropper tool for grabbing the hex values for any color in a page.

Read the full list here.

    The Web Developer extension has a “Display Ruler” tool (under “Miscellaneous”) that is actually much better than the MeasureIt extension. After discovering this, I uninstalled MeasureIt.

    I think the one you find first because man gets used to anything very quickly.
