My Top 3 Firefox Extensions
Firefox is great browser, especially for web development. Here are my top 3 Firefox extensions that I use for coding and testing websites.
Firebug
Firebug is like a magic wand capable of peeling back the layers of a webpage to reveal its inner workings. First, it is a great learning tool when browsing the internet to investigate how other developers build great websites. Second, it speeds up debugging those pesky css and javascript issues that pop up during normal website development.
Web Developer
This is my go-to tool for testing. With just a click, I can view the site with css, javascript, and/or images turned off. These are all important benchmarks to evaluate the website under varying browser conditions.
I also take advantage of the handy one-click html and css validation options. Validation is great for catching typos in your code and for ensuring our sites are compliant with modern standards.
FireFtp
There are many great ftp client software out there, but I prefer FireFtp. First, I like the simple intuitive interface. Second, I like the convenience of loading it into one of my Firefox browser tabs. I can upload a file in the FireFtp tab, then quickly switch to the webpage tab to check its progress.
