Every time I go to the FireFox extensions page I seem to find sometheing else that's new and cool, so I was wondering...what are everyone's favorite extensions?
Here's mine (notice they all have something to do with web design...hmmm):
Web Developer - a webmaster's Swiss Army Knife. I use several tools on this toolbar daily.
IEView - lets you right click on a page and open it in IE, great for cross-browser testing.
FireFoxView - the opposite of IEView, open the current page in IE with FireFox.
JavaScript Debugger - a powerful tool to see how your JavaScript (mis)behaves.
ColorZilla - adds an eye dropper icon to the status bar. Click it and move the mouse around the screen and this extension reports the color that the mouse is touching (in RGB integers and in hex for using in web pages/css), the current X and Y coordinates for the pixel you're hovering over, and the element that you're inside (tag name and id, if specified).
MeasureIt - like ColorZilla, this one adds an icon the the status bar. Click the icon and then click two coordinates (top left and bottom right) on the page. The extension will draw a blue rectangle around the area you selected and display width and height of the selection.
Pong - pointless, but...ah...well...um...
