Top 5 Firefox Extensions for Web Designers
December 15th, 2005
One of the best features of Firefox is that it can be expanded with a wide range of optional extensions. There are extensions to help with blogging, privacy, working with RSS files, or just having fun. Here’s my list of the 5 extensions I find most useful when doing web design work:
- Web Developer
Adds a menu and toolbar with many useful tools. Simply being able to open the CSS of a page for live editing makes it essential any web designer or developer. This extension is like an entire toolbox of extensions, and provides numerous useful features. - GreaseMonkey
Greasemonkey’s user scripts let you customize any aspect of a web page’s design or interaction. Hundreds of user scripts, for a wide variety of popular sites are available and very easy to install. - del.icio.us
This extension integrates del.icio.us with Firefox. Del.icio.us is an excellent way to find new tips, tutorials and resources—which are important for any web designer or developer. - Aardvark
When activated, this extension outlines and provides class or id names for any element under the cursor. You can then choose to remove or isolate specific elements on a page. The most useful feature is being able to quickly view the source code of the selected element. - Colorzilla
Adds an advanced Eyedropper, ColorPicker, Page Zoomer and other colorful goodies. With ColorZilla you can get a color reading from any point in your browser, quickly adjust this color and paste it into another program.
If you haven’t tried it already— Firefox is free, easy to use, and a relatively small download.
This is great. Anything that can make web design easier, is OK by me. I just don’t have the patience for writing script.
Now I know more about web design .Thanks

IMHO, FireBug is THE BEST Firefox extension for web development. I’ve found it even more helpful than the Web Developer, which is saying ALOT!!
Check out FireBug.

Just curious if anyone knows anything about a version of Colorzilla or something similar for the newest version of Firefox?
Thanks.
Hello, i love http://www.designmeme.com! Let me in, please
As a web designer for website design leeds I use firefox often and the add ons from a seo point of view are excellent for checking the competition of other sites and their rankings, the bookmarkers are also quite efficient and I always open my firefox browser for bookmarking.
