my IE7/Firefox post about the Firebug add-on for Firefox. This got me thinking that I should post my list of add-ons that I use for Firefox, so here they are. If you have any others to suggest, leave me a comment and I'll check it out.
- Web Developer Toolbar
- The definitive add-on for anyone doing web development. An absolute must-have.
- IE Tab
- Before IE Tab came along there was IE View, which was nice, but IE Tab is better. This is the only way to go for those sites that still only work properly in IE. I previously posted about IE tab here.
- Firebug
- Allows you to edit, debug, and monitor CSS, HTML, and JavaScript live in any web page. Nothing but tightness.
- Session Manager
- Allows you to save and restore the state of Firefox windows and tabs. IE7 has this feature built-in to it, but this little add-on does the same thing.
- del.icio.us Buttons
- Allows one-button click to tag a web page into your del.icio.us account. I'm using an older version (1.3.87) specifically because I hate the latest version (1.4.25). I think Yahoo destroyed something good by allowing it to completely redo how Firefox does bookmarks. That's what we get when a big company buys something everyone loved. But I'm not bitter ;-)
- Showcase
- Allows you to hit F12 to see a thumbnail view of all tabs that you have open.
- Wizz RSS News Reader
- Before finding the built-in RSS Feeds in Outlook 2007 I started using this as my RSS reader and if you're interested you should check it out. It's very well done and if not for Outlook 2007, this would be my RSS reader of choice.
