Great list, Brandon! I would add FingerAuth to it. It’s great for not having to remember my passwords.

@nye

Yeah, I’ve heard a lot about Firebug but rarely do any web UI work other than on my own sites. I work with web technologies, but have typically been the person working on the “back-end stuff” for the last 6 years or so. If/when I get around to doing a new layout for this site, I’ll have to finally get around to checking it out.

@Jim

Google Notebook– I mostly use del.icio.us, but that is a add-on I should probably add since I do have a few things on my Google Bookmark account.

@Jake

See my comments to nye.

@Peter

I remember coming across that one before but haven’t used it myself– I’ll certainly have to check it out if it makes the intertrons faster.

[...] Firefox Add-ons Brandon has gone cliche posted about the Firefox add-ons he uses. While I do not install from scratch so often, I do need certain add-ons. This list is a good way opf keeping them all in one spot for new installs. [...]

Thanks for the list! I’d like to suggest one possible addition:

NoScript gives me a level of control that I find useful and reassuring. It also tends to speed up a lot of browsing.

Second Tab Mix Plus (at least it’s the “tabbed browsing improver” I’m using these days.

I also *strongly* second Firebug. Troubleshooting CSS or AJAX has never been easier. http://www.getfirebug.com/

Tab Mix Plus - allows you to ‘lock’ tabs and prevent them from accidently closing

Firebug - javascript debugging, HTML inspection

Coldfire - Ray’s Firebug plugin-plugin allows you to see ColdFusion debugging information within Firebug

Google Notebook
Selenium IDE - testing
LoremIpsum Generator (mozmonkey.com)

Hi,

If you are a web developer, I recommend you FireBug, must have. You can edit and debug javascript, html, css live in a web page.

I also use HTML Validator to validate HTML and CSS.

Bye!
