Top Mozilla Firefox Addons for Web Developers

Hi all,
Mozilla has definitely seen better days during its time, I’m of course relating to the recent issues it had with it’s CEO, and how that opened up the transparency of the company. In my eyes, it’s all media stuff, and it doesn’t affect me as much.




I’m here to enjoy this browser, just a few days ago, a new version was released to the public. It was the version 29.0 of the Mozilla Firefox web browser, which brought in a couple of changes and security fixes. You can read the release notes for more information.

In 2006, when I began my web journey, Chrome didn’t exist at the time, and everyone was using Firefox as their primary web browser, with the exception of some using the IE, and Opera. These days, Chrome is dominating the market, while Firefox is trying to stay as open as possible, something that appeals to developers all around the World.

Additional information can be obtained via a multitude of external lookups and users can add their own custom actions. All actions can be added to the flag icon’s context menu and set to icon click or keyboard shortcuts for quick access.

This is probably my most favorite Firefox addon, as far as web development goes. It has got nearly a million users, and after installing it, you get a custom navigation bar added to your browser – within which you’ll find dozens of incredibly useful web development tools.

You can manage CSS, forms, HTML, measure the length of pages and specific parts, live edit the pages, and so much more. A must have.
