Extensions
Extensions are small add-ons that add new functionality to Firefox. They can add anything from a toolbar button to a completely new feature.
Live HTTP Headers
The Live HTTP Headers extension adds two features to Firefox that are useful for web development. It adds a new Tool that allows one to monitor HTTP request and response headers as requests are being processed. It also adds a Headers tab to the View Page Info window with panes for the HTTP request and responses headers.
Web Developer
The Web Developer extension is invaluable for people who design and program Web sites. The extension adds a toolbar to Firefox which allows one-click access to a range of functions, including disabling images, CSS or JavaScript; labeling all the CSS "divs" in a page; outlining images without "alt" tags; and validating a page's code.
Firebug
The Firebug extension offers a huge number of tools for web designers, including real time CSS and HTML debugging.
