Must-Have Firefox Addons for Web Developers

Shadab · 06-19-2008

If you are a web developer and designer, then you got to have these Firefox extensions with you. These tools will help you in your editing and debugging of CSS, HTML and JavaScript codes. Btw, I'll be posting a whole lot of such lists here. This is PART 1 of the complete series of essential Plugins for Web Developers. Showcasing 5 essential addons / extensions :

Note: I have included only those addons which are compatible with the latest version of Firefox (ie, v3)

Web Developer 1.1.6

Adds an extra toolbar with loads of web development related tools.

Best Firefox extension out there for web developers!
Definitely the first thing I install once firefox is up.

Download : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir...r-1.1.6-fx.xpi

Firebug 1.2.0b3

Has a separate panel with a variety of web developer tools.
You can edit, debug, and monitor CSS, HTML, xHTML and JavaScript on any live webpage.

What a phenomenal product! I can't live without this.
Debugging my code has never been easier!

FireFTP 0.99.1

It also includes some advanced features such as:

- Directory comparison
- Syncing directories
- SFTP (secure)

I love FireFTP. Ever since I found it,
I left all other FTP clients on my PC un-used.

These add-ons are so useful that I cannot work for a single day without them and so I would suspect most web developers and QA Engineers. These plugins / add-ons makes Firefox a formidable web development and testing platform.

jusRen · 12-26-2008

I have the firebug extension, but I'm going to download the others now and let you know how I get on.

Thanks a bunch.
