Mozilla Firefox is my web browser of choice and I’ve been using it since its early days, before it even had this name. One of the reasons that I like Firefox is the amount of high quality add-ons that are available. They make my life so much easier and they also increase my productivity. However, there are so many add-ons out there that it might be difficult to pick out which ones are good. So, I’ve compiled a list of add-ons that I use and recommend for web design. If you are a web designer, you should already be familiar with these, but I still wanted to share this list for those who are interested in or have just started getting into web design.
1. Firebug
Firebug integrates with Firefox to put a wealth of development tools at your fingertips while you browse. You can edit, debug, and monitor CSS, HTML, and JavaScript live in any web page.
