What Extensions I Am Using Right Now

  • Web Developer Toolbar – Just about everything you could want to do HTML and CSS, plus I can edit AND save the CSS changes I was playing around with.
  • Firebug – So much goodness. Especially debugging JavaScript and looking over AJAX requests and responses.
  • View Source Chart – Makes looking at HTML source bearable.
  • ColorZilla – a color picker for pulling colors off of web pages.
  • HTMLValidator – because it is too easy to miss a closing tag somewhere that messes everything up.
  • DummyLipsum – when you need some filler content.
  • SeleniumIDE – great little utility for helping to write Selenium tests for functional testing.
