“Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens…yada yada yada (I
mentioned the kittens). Here are a few of my favorite Firefox
things: Web Developer, Pixel Perfect, ColorZilla, Measure It and
Pixl Grabber.

“If you are not yet using the Firefox extension Firebug,
run–don’t walk–to downloadville. It is a must-have Web tool,
especially if you are working with content management systems where
the cascading stylesheets tend to look like Victoria Falls. While
the extensions in this series do not rely upon it, some will
integrate with it. If you are asking “What is Firebug?”, have a
read of “Firefox and Firebug: A Developer’s Swiss Army Knife”, from
the HTMLGoodies.com archives.

“Okay, where were we? Oh, right, bright copper kettles and the
Web Developer extension.

“The Web Developer extension for Firefox (and Opera) is a mother
lode of Web tools.”
