TubaTech ... are you a developer?Most good Devs I know these days (myself included) write standards compliant code which largely "just works" for the browsers that have been updated over the last 5 years, and then hack as necessary for proper display in the one browser that hasn't had an update in 5 years (IE).So that means most devs are doing most of thier work in Firefox, and checking for back compatibility in IE. That makes the "View in IE" extension useful for some. Personally, I don't muddy my Firefox with that extension ... I just open IE.
No digg, seing as at least 3 of the extensions listed duplicate functionality available in the web developer extension. Seems like padding in order to make it a list.

I'm pretty sure most of them digg it based purely on the title, or because others have.

Boy what a redundant list.And Weblogsinc beat you to the punch two and a half months ago with a much better list:<a class="user" href="http://www.digg.com/programming/9_must_have_Firefox_extensions_for_web_developers">http://www.digg.com/programming/9_must_have_Firefox_extensions_for_web_developers</a>No digg from me.

Although 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.<a class="user" href="http://www.iconico.com/colorpic/">http://www.iconico.com/colorpic/</a>
