I love Firefox

I've been a fan since pre-release days, but it just keeps getting better and better. It's another Christmas (presents anyway) to discover wonderful new extensions. First and foremost are the developer extensions. Just in time, Microsoft are now offering something similar for IE. But it's difficult to see how Microsoft will be able to catch up with the success of FireFox extensions.

My current favourites:

• JavaScript debugger (Venkman - currently requiring a fudge for 1.5)
• LiveHttpHeader (see the trace of HTTP GETs etc in the side bar)
• ProxySwitcher (currently not available for Firefox 1.5 ouch)
• HTML validator (show validation summary of current page in status bar)
• DOM Inspector (useful but needs work)
• ColorZilla (allows you to sample a page to identify the colours used - beats using PhotoShop)
• MeasureIt (allows you to measure distances in the browser - beats using PhotoShop)
• ForecastFox (even though it insisted on snow all last week - for virtually nothing)

Just installed some new ones to try FireFTP, LinkChecker, TamperData, TestGen4Web
