FireFox Plugins/Addons for Development

Over on InstantShift.com Dkumar M has put together a great list of FireFox add-ons.  The add-on range from web-page eyedroppers [link] to tools that will let you get screenshots of your page in IE from FF [link].  Naturally since I have zero artisitic capability, I gravitated towards the the add-ons that were code-centric.  The most notable add-ons are listed below.  Check out the article [link] and other useful articles by Dkumar M [link].

Name Description
ColorZilla Bottom line: This allows you to grab a hex color-code from any element on a web-page.  It also has functionality built-in for measuring distances within a web-page and some other stuff.
Palette Grabber Creates palettes from web-sites (perhaps from CSS) and outputs a file readable by Photoshop, Gimp, and others.
JSView Allows you to view source on JavaScript files that are referenced on a page without having to type in the URL.
JavaScript Debugger The name of this should be pretty self-explanatory.  Some say this conflicts with FireBug, so watch out for that.

 

Enjoy.
