Here is a quick list of my top Firefox extensions

Web Devloper toolbar

Essential for anyone who works on websites. My favourite features are

  • View Style Information
    Very handy for editing CSS templates. You can pick the element you want to alter, and the extension will show you it’s properties and where to find it in the CSS files.
  • View Form Information
    Shows the details of a form, hidden fields, submit url etc.
  • Clear Domain Cookies
    Very handy for testing sites that ask you to log in. You can easily kill all related cookies and appear like an anonymous user.

Dust-Me Selectors
