Extensions

  • Firebug: Unfortunately the key shortcuts cannot be customized it seems. It is an excellent extensions when debugging JavaScript code.
  • Web Developer Toolbar: You can configure this add-on to open a page's source in a tab instead of a window, very useful! Plus you can configure it to open the pages in your favorite editor, but it does not accept command-line argument so you must write a wrapper. You can change the keys shortcuts.
  • LiveHTTPHeaders: Extremely useful when you need to analyze what's happening between the browser and the server.
  • ColorZilla: Includes an excellent color picker for web design. Unfortunately does not work on 64-bit platforms.
  • HTML Validator: Can be used to see quickly if your pages are W3C compliant.
  • Rubyfox: Nice theme to relook Firefox.

Web Development

  • A really annoying bug seems to be that Firebug / Firefox error console is not able to catch errors present in Prototype Ajax callbacks. Opera has the same problems. When using normal hand-coded Ajax calls, errors are caught but there still seems to be problems. See this bug.
