I am a very big fan of Mozilla Firefox. I love it for many reasons but the thing I love most about Firefox is the ability to add Plugins, Addons, and Extensions. Most of the addons are user contributed - Yes there are people out there who dedicate their time to making the web a better place & making it easier for guys like me to go about their daily lives.
I have compiled a list of the Top 8 Firefox Addons for Web Designers.
I hope you find it useful
Advanced Eyedropper, ColorPicker, Page Zoomer and other colorful goodies… Although I dont use it as much anymore, I still like it and recommend it to anyone who lives in the dark abyss of web design! |

FireFTP is a free, secure, cross-platform FTP client for Mozilla Firefox which provides easy and intuitive access to FTP servers. I use FireFTP on a daily basis, What I love most about it is that I have a dropdown list of about 32 websites that I manage. i just select a site and it automatically connects me to the root of that website. I love it! |

Firebug integrates with Firefox to put a wealth of development tools at your fingertips while you browse. You can edit, debug, and monitor CSS, HTML, and JavaScript live in any web page I think the above paragraph explains it all. It can be a really useful tool if you use it properly - for example, I can make changes in the CSS without having to re-upload a page for preview. |
