- Lorian, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Am I the only one who has issues with IE Tab? For me it often freezes the browser for several seconds, and sometimes even crashes it. I prefer IE View.
- GotGoose, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Web Developer Toolbar has most of the features of the other extensions in the list.
- Jeffrey903, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7Last time I checked, IE tab had a large memory leak. I'm not sure if it has been fixed since.
- inboxnews, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8I really appreciate the IE View Firefox “tab”. Sure beats firing up Internet Explorer. I especially like that I can view pages in a separate IE Tab so that I don’t have to leave the Firefox interface.

I know we get these every couple of weeks but I always find at least extension in each I've not encountered before that makes them worthwhile - mjrpes, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Screengrab is the bomb diggity. Every so often I've had to do the whole photoshop mosaic thing, where you print screen, paste into photoshop, scroll down, print screen, paste in photoshop, etc. That screen grab does all the work for you is very nice :)
- circletimesquar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2is firefox ever going to support external entities?
this is a major bug and it has really turned me off from firefox
ie is more compliant than firefox with xml: it supports this completely
further details:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69799 - koweja, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I've had a few. I went back to IE View.
- koweja, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2There is also a Opera View extension, that works just like IE View (launches the browser, not a tab) for extra cross-browser checking. There isn't a Safari View extension as far as I know.
- zcreem, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3I removed it from my extensions not to happy with it.
- SerialMartini, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1How many of these do we REALLY need? This is about the 50th FireFox extension Digg I've seen. Really people.
- CaughtThinking, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1LeakFox it hsould be called.
- willlangford, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1i did something similar with a lot more useful extensions.
http://willlangford.com/geekpages/firefox/ - blueangel5383, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1a better one is CSSViewer instead of Aardvark Extension
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I installed Fire FTP- nothing special, but it has its uses.
I agree with the sentiment on your blog design as well- very nicely done!
Now I want the template...hehe - mutant, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I have a best of the top 10 best of bestest firefox best of best of 10 best of bestest extensions that are the best of the bestest bestified best.
- willlangford, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1yes it replaces lots
- Xoligy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It's a huge memory leaker. Unless you've changed your Firefox config, Firefox will almost double RAM usage and stay that way until you restart it.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"Firefox is required software for XHTML/CSS development."
How is that true? All you require is a browser, not necessarily Firefox. Opera or Safari could do the job just as well (if not better when using versions that pass Acid2). Perhaps more accurate wording would be, "Firefox is an excellent tool in the development of XHTML/CSS."
Firefox is certainly a great browser, but it's not a requirement. It's especially good for JavaScript development. Other browsers seem to lack some of the better features Firefox has for debugging, like the Firebug extension. - Teh_Psyren, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I have most of them but have never heard of screengrab, which seems to be an awesome extension.
- NoMoreNicksLeft, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I gotta admit, I hadn't seen the HTML Validator extension before, and it is rather nice. I fixed a few things in a hurry, after seeing it... I might have put stuff off for weeks, otherwise.
Though, it seems to be really pissy about me using inline SVG. Wonder if putting in the namespace like I'm supposed to will fix that. - vancer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Nice list! I was expecting the same things I usually see (and already have) like Web Developer toolbar and MeasureIt, but also found a couple surprises .
- brhad56, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I prefer IE View myself. There's no good reason to run IE inside ot firefox. It's just asking for trouble.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I found a couple useful ones from this list. Thanks.
- kjhatch, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I was afraid this list would be mostly a re-post of the many other lists of extensions for development, but there were three new to me that I'm downloading to try out right now. Thanks for posting.
- pornel, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2And for those who prefer alternatives to alvernative browsers ;) http://nontroppo.org/wiki/WebDevToolbar - same thing for Opera.
- TheMoleskin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I even got a new one suggested in a comment. Firebug is pretty slick. Let's you inspect Source, style, Layout, Events and DOM in one interface.
- wmarcello, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Although not a firefox extension, the free app Colorpic is much better than Colorzilla. You can grab colors from anywhere on your desktop, not just in Firefox. You can also save entire groups of colors as palettes.
http://www.iconico.com/colorpic/ - heymark, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I haven't encountered any problems with the IE tab extension. Though, i don't abuse it like crazy.
- koregaonpark, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2Awesome blog man... it's web 3.0. And I like Screen Grab a lot too.
- redsrule2500, on 10/12/2007, -9/+3Dupe x 100
- shikitho, on 10/12/2007, -15/+6I personally don't like these kinds of list but this one is pretty useful. Thanks.
- hello2usir, on 10/12/2007, -21/+12About as useful as it was the last twenty times it was submitted.
