Favourite Firefox Extensions

In no particular order (except Web Developer Extension which is really great).

  1. 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.
  2. ForecastFox. Keep yourself up to date with the weather forecast. Can be customized for level of detail, number of days etc.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

  1. 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/

  2. cool. I’ll check those out mate.
