Favourite Firefox Extensions
Posted on October 25th, 2006 by Tim Almond
In no particular order (except Web Developer Extension which is really great).
- Web Developer Extension. If you’re building stuff, a very useful extension. Pretty much like a Swiss Army Knife for site debugging. Too many tools to mention, but if you’re building sites, get it.
- ForecastFox. Keep yourself up to date with the weather forecast. Can be customized for level of detail, number of days etc.
- Colorzilla. You can use it as a colour selector just to look up stuff when you’re coding, but also, it has an eyedropper, so you can pick up the RGB of a colour that you see on a page.
- Slashdotter. Quite a useful extension for Slashdot users. Not only can you quickly reply to a post, but it also gives you options to view links on posts via the Coral Cache (for those sites that have not sustained a slashdotting).
I’d love to hear anyone’s favourites out there.
Some of my favourites I wouldn’t want to live without:
CoLT (COpy Link Text, enhances the "copy link" context menu)):
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1812/
Link Widgets (site navigation tool, using the link headers where given):
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2933/
User Agent Switcher (does what it says on the tin. Can be helpful for IE only sites or just for the fun of it):
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/59/
MinimizeToTray (unfortunately not ready for 2.0 yet, but also does what it says on the tin):
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2110/
cool. I’ll check those out mate.
