Firefox Extensions Suggestions

I don't know how a web-developer can do without the Web Developer extension. I know TPH, you claim it's a memory hog (and it may be - I haven't tested and don't have the need as I have 2GB memory ), but I find it far more useful than adblock (which I'm not even running anymore).

Some other favs of mine are MeasureIt, Firefox Forecast, and Dictionary Search.

IEView and GreaseMonkey look interesting. I haven't seen them in use, but I'll give them a whirl.

I would also add

HTML Validator
Paste & Go
EditCSS
Smiley Xtra

I think Chris meant HTML-Tidy plugin which is an essential plugin and should come right after web dev toolbar

Others include:

Fire FTP

Wayback: checks page against the wayback machines archive.

Tweak Network 1.0

Link preview: shows a small preview of any link hovered on.

Mr Techs Local Install.: Install button for local saved extension files

Bookmarks Synchronizer.

Preferential 0.7 : advanced preferences for Mozilla based products.

Yes, the HTML Validator based on Tidy.

Edit CSS allows editing of CSS in the sidebar.

Paste and Go adds this option to the right button context menu. If you have copied a link, its just paste & go!

Web Developer Extension (0.9.3)

The Web Developer Extension is probably the most popular extension for webbies who test and code in/for Firefox.

It adds a toolbar to the browser window, containing (more or less) EVERY feature you would ever need to debug and test a webpage. Featuring:

Disable styles, popup blocking, java, images, cache, cookies
Outline block elements, deprecated elements, tables, links without Title attributes
Resize the window to test different screen resolutions.
Tools to validate the HTML and CSS, links, and accessibilty (WAI and 508).
CSS - add user stylesheets, view CSS, edit the CSS on-the-fly, and use the border box model.
Forms - clear radio buttons, show passwords, view information
Images - view image info, display paths, outline problem images
Information - display info such as access keys, anchors, tab index, etc.

Wow of all wows. No I don't have to do stuff manually, it's just a drop down away! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

View Formatted Source

Has anyone tried this?
The comments make it sound kinda buggy.

It's ok, takes too long to fire up the source to use it that often in my experience.

I also sometimes like

View Rendered source

<Bump>

I've added lots more things, and pictures!

If anyone wants to give a brief description of the ones I haven't done (at the bottom), that's be great, I can move them into the post.

I'm not sure how anyone can get by without Cards.

Aardark has proven to be valuable.

When things get really tough, the Mouseover DOM Inspector comes to the rescue. It's not a Firefox extension, but a bookmarklet that even works in IE6.

cheers,

gary

delete away, fine by me.

How about the EditHTML bookmarklet which allows you to edit and reload the HTML of a viewed page.
