Firefox presently is my favorite browser for web designers because of the seemingly unlimited amount of add-ons available.

It’s amazing just how many add-ons I run across each week and just don’t have time to check them all out.  With that in mind, I thought I’d check out a few and report on the good ones for you.

These add-ons make your web designing jobs easier and faster because they contain useful tools that you’d normally have to open a software program to have access to, so they’ll save you some time.

Here’s a  list of Firefox add-ons that I used in my web development projects, you’re welcome to comment on any you don’t like or suggest ones that you might be currently using in your work.

1. Web Developers Toolbar - This is an ideal tool for web designers as well as developers. It contains tools such as CSS displays, Edit Forms, Tools for mark-up Validation (W3C, CSS, HTML etc.)

2. IE-Tab - This is very helpful to web developers since you can easily switch between IE and Firefox. This is a great alternative for browsershots.org

3. MeasureIT - Need a ruler or need to measure an element in an existing website. This tool will become handy.

Ok, that’s it for today.  We will look at more tools in the next installment.

In the meantime, you can click on the hyperlinks and check out each of the tools to see if they’re something you’d be likely to use in your work.

I think they’re all good to have on hand as you are designing and developing websites for yourself or someone else.

In the next post, I’ll look at XRay, Pallette Grabber and Firebug.
