My Favorite Firefox Add-ons
One of the greatest aspects of Firefox is the ability to install add-ons to do about anything a browser can do. As a web designer this functionality is useful to me. Firefox plugins helps me to turn my browser into the web design assistant that does everything from validate my css to tell me the hex number of a color on the web. So here is a list of my favorite Firefox add-ons.
