Web Development with Firefox

If your not already using the Firefox web browser for testing and developing your website's, you should seriously consider it.

The browser sports numerous free plug-ins that make web development much easier and faster. In addition there are numerous personal plug-ins that are worth installing to make life easier (i.e. local weather, world times, etc). Some of the our favorites are:

• Firebug – excellent all round development tool.
• FireFinder - Finds HTML elements matching CSS paths or XPATH expressions.
• FirePicker - Excellent colour picker for FireBug.
• ColorZilla – tool for selecting colours from your browser.
• HTML Validator - validate your HTML against web standards.
