The Best Firefox Extensions For Developers

[Ryk]

I recently posted a link to Firefox's Web Developer Toolkit and promptly received a barrage of requests for any other good extensions!

The following list of the best 15 has just been published in this month's issue (#150) of .Net magazine here in the UK; I don't have time to add the descriptions of each one, but I have at least typed in the urls. ;)

I haven't tested all the links, partly because I already had most of these extensions. I did get a page not found for #2 in the list.

I find it quite amusing that the "Accessibility" extension was inaccessible...
