Firefox Addons For Web Development
Firefox is my favorite browser. I have been using it since it ws known as Firebird (pre 1.0). When I switched to Mac, I decided to make Firefox my browser of choice over Safari, Mac’s native browser.
The main reason I like Firefox so much is its extensibility. As a web designer and developer, there are several addons and tools that I rely on every day. Most people already know about the popular addons like Chris Pederick’s Web Developer Toolbar and the excellent Firebug. I thought I would mention a few that I use that might have slipped under your radar.
ColorZilla is a great addon that allows you to grab any color from your browser for use in another program. You can also launch a color picker that will allow you to adjust the color if needed. It also has other functions like page zoom, DOM color analyzer, and Firebug integration.
Screegrab! is an excellent tool for, well, making screengrabs of web pages. Before this addon, I would have to do a screenshot, scroll down, do another screenshot, and stitch them together in Photoshop. This addon will save an image of the entire webpage, only the portion you can see, or you can select what you want it to save. Pretty useful for grabbing images of other sites you like for inspiration.
