Useful Firefox Extensions for Web Developers

I've found several useful Firefox extensions that have helped a lot in our project to redevelop the Marin Professionals web site:

Firebug: A top quality web page debugging tool. Opens a separate window in Firefox that shows your HTML code and the associated CSS. Allows you to make temporary changes to your tags and styles to see how they change the appearance of your page. Recommended by Joomla for figuring out what their generated pages are doing.

Colorzilla: Versatile Firefox color picker tool. See a color you want to match? Use Colorzilla to find out what its parameters are so you can duplicate it on your page.

Measureit: Use to check the width, height and alignment of elements on your web page.

Aardvark: Draws red rectangle around elements on web page; shows associated tags. Keystroke driven functionality can isolate, remove elements from page.

Hope you find these helpful.
