Firefox is without any doubt, the best browser for a developer. Extensions are one of the most important part of this browser. No one can possibly list all of the important extensions and no one can have hundreds of extensions. (At least I don’t know anyone who has more than 25). But, if you are a web developer or you aspire to be then there are two plugins you can’t afford to miss.

1. Web Developer: This extension adds a toolbar at the top. Using this extension you can perform many tasks such as disabling cookies, cache, javascript, images. You can also perform validation for webpages and localpages. There are just too many features to list. You can find many different extensions for doing the jobs this one does. But, this extension replace the need of twneties of extensions. You need to try it to feel its strength.
2. Firebug: This extension is the difference between ’seeing’ things happen in the browser and ‘knowing’ exactly whats happening. It can tell you every call a website performs to the server, the time it takes, response it gets in what format. You can edit HTML/CSS of any webpage directly in your browser window and get a real time feel of the changes. I can’t even imagine someone trying to develope anything for web without firebug. If you never used firebug then better learn it. It will increase your developement speed tremendously.
3. IE Tab: We all know that Internet explorer follows its own standards. And it gets away with it because of the number of users. Any webdeveloper needs to test all his pages in Internet explorer as well. (In most cases, he/she realises that something is not working as expected). Well, we need to switch and keep on switching between firefox and Internet explorer. This extension allow you to embed IE in firefox and you can switch between both browser easily by clicking on a small icon placed at the status bar of firefox.
