Cool Firefox add-ons
I made a list of some cool Firefox add-ons.
http://webdevelopmentresources.blogspot.com/2008/03/best-firefox-extensi...
Please list some Firefox add-ons you use. That you find quite cool.
Also try Google's Web Accelerator. My network is quite slow and it saves me up to 2 hours for 24 hours of browsing.

Wow! That's quite a list. I imagine that it's not only your network that is slow - how long does Firefox take to open with so many extensions?
Joking aside, I think this is a great list, with many of my own favorites. But I am surprised you do not mention Firebug. I find this one webmaster tool invaluable, and can't imagine how I ever managed without it.
Another add-on for discovering what may be slowing the display of your web pages is Yslow from Yahoo.
Thanks for the list, Ragunalth. I have bookmarked it.
Cordially, David

Lol, Thanks David, I will update the list with Firebug
. I actually use this myself. 
Well I don't have ADSL and visiting the same pages with my current connection speed sometimes takes up some time. I have saved a total of 3 hour now, in a matter of ons weeks browsing, using the Google accelerator.

Is there an add on for firefox where you can point to a live site and it will tell you which color has been used?

The only thing I dislike about all the firefox add-ons is lately they have been making so many changes to the browser the add-on folks cant keep up and some end up not working.

Well, it wouldn't be good to hold up development of the browser, just because some add-on developers can't keep up. Don't think the changes from Firefox version-to-version affect the majority of add-ons anyway, they just need to do some testing, amend the compatibility information and carry on.
Mostly these add-ons are being maintained by volunteers, so it's easy to see how this problem arises. Not a lot can be done about it.

I've found 'Web Developer' tool has been really handy for editing css - you can edit the CSS of any page and it updates the page as you change it which saves loads of time!

Special ups to Firebug. By far the most useful for any Web Developer.
