I’ve been using Colorzilla for awhile. Can’t imagine living without it now. Saves me LOTS of time.

I use Fireshot instead of Screengrab too. As I look at the list, I’m not sure how I would get along without several of these. I use Firebug, FireFTP and Web Developer literally every day.

I love CoolPreviews. No need to open a new tab or window to view a link.

I’m using all of these plugins with 2 exceptions : Screengrab have been replaced by Fireshot which I think it’s more comfortable to use and FireFTP by FileZilla.

PS: I think that every webdev is already using all of these (and even more)…

I use all of those except for the screen grab tool, but I also use MeasureIt. You use it to measure out dimensions on the page. So when I’m coding together templates and I can tell I’m off by just a tiny bit on something I can just measure it in firefox and fix it right away.

Also, when you use ColorZilla, anytime to try to pick the color of something it’ll outline that area’s element (s and stuff) and display it’s class name or id. It’s really useful if I just want to figure out how someone is doing their CSS really quickly.

You could also add the foxmarks. The addon allows you to save all your FireFox Bookmarsk on the foxmarks.com website and download them to any location where you get internet connection.

Imagine being in a office, where you want to show to the customer a specific website and you forgot the URL. Simply install the addon, login to your foxmarks account, pull the list down to the computer you’re using and then find your own bookmark.

I use all of these with the exception of ScreenGrab and FireFTP.

I use SnagIt 9, a great screen capture/screen recording and screenshot editor. It costs a few dollars, but it’s definitely worth it.

As for http://FTP... I’m using FileZilla right now but I’ll have to check out FireFTP. It looks interesting.

Just tried it out. It’s pretty brilliant. Much more efficient than print screen-ing and cropping.
