My Firefox Addons

Classic Theme Restorer

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/

Squared tabs, appmenu, add-on bar, small button view and many more ‘old’ features for Firefox 29+

I’m not a fan of the new UI of Firefox, I feel the latest UI changes are easier beginners to pick up and start using the browser. These improvements have no benefit for me a slows down my productivity.

ColorZilla

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/colorzilla/

Advanced Eyedropper, Color Picker, Gradient Generator and other colorful goodies…

Love this tool, clicking on the eyedropper icon. Brings up an eyedropper tool allowing you to get the colour anything in the browser in Hex, RGB or HSL string.

Firebug

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firebug/

Firebug integrates with Firefox to put a wealth of development tools at your fingertips while you browse. You can edit, debug, and monitor CSS, HTML, and JavaScript live in any web page…

Firebug is the original Dom inspector, which is now a standard for all modern browsers. Although I think the browser built in one by Mozilla is superior. I still find myself using firebug.

FireFTP

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/fireftp/

FireFTP is a free, secure, cross-platform FTP/SFTP client for Mozilla Firefox which provides easy and intuitive access to FTP/SFTP servers.

I don’t tend to have much sites that use FTP anymore but for the one or two which still use FTP. This is a excellent plugin which saves time opening winscp or filezila.

Google Music Hotkeys

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/google-music-hotkeys/

Access your Google Music from any tab with hotkeys

I love listening music whilst i’m developing and i’m subscriber of Google Play Music. With some hot keys allows me to play/pause, skip and rewind tracks. So I don’t interrupt my work flow switching back to Google music.

Html Validator

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/html-validator/

HTML Validator is a Mozilla extension that adds HTML validation inside Firefox and Mozilla. The number of errors of a HTML page is seen on the form of an icon.

Does what it says on the tin.

JSONView

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/jsonview/

View JSON documents in the browser.

This is addon is a must for anyone who regularly works with Json data. JSONView formats and highlights the document so it is readable.

RemoteLiveReload

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/remotelivereload/

LiveReload refreshes a web page when files change.

Livereload is one of them tools which I thought was waste of time until I implemented it into to my workflow. Now i use it on all my majority of my projects.

MeasureIt

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/measureit/

Draw a ruler across any webpage to check the width, height, or alignment of page elements in pixels.

MeasureIt overlays a ruler on the screen allows you to measure elements on the page.

Screengrab

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/screengrab-fix-version/

Screengrab! saves webpages as images.

They are better tools for taking screenshots. Such as Awesome capture but all I need is a no frills screen capture and Screengrab does the job

SearchPreview

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/searchpreview/

The extension previously known as GooglePreview. Inserts preview images (thumbnails) and popularity ranks of web sites into the Google, Yahoo, Bing and DuckDuckGo search results pages.

This addon provide a screenshot of the site in the serp.

Web Developer

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/web-developer/

The Web Developer extension adds various web developer tools to the browser.

There is so much in this tools in this add on which I use on a daily basis. Even some of the tools already mentioned on this list are covered by this tool. These are the features I use on a regular basis: Display Alt tags, Display line guides, Populate Form Fields, Disable all Javascript, Disable all cookies.
