My post on Firefox is severely out of date. The only one of the plugins I listed in that post that I still use is Webdeveloper. I have a few to add to the list as well:

• Firebug. In my opinion, the best plugin to date. I’ll even take it a step further…it is the most useful free tool for a web developer, ever. Used in conjunction with the web developer plugin, trouble shooting time - especially concerning javascript and CSS - is greatly reduced.
• Screengrab!. Grab a screenshot quick, without copying and pasting into paint or the gimp.
• MeasureIt. Need to know how tall that image is, or how much room you have for a button/text/dancing baby? MeasureIt!
• ColorZilla. Eyedropper color selector that will paste whatever format you need right into your clipboard. Hmmm…spend time tracking down what class/id you’re currently looking at, then find it in your multiple css files OR click twice. Your call. There is no wrong answer…wait, yes there is.
