It allows you to examine and tweak the HTML, CSS and JavaScript contained in a page, all on the fly. Firebug opens either as a panel at the bottom of the page you’re inspecting, or in a separate window.     <img src="http://lifehacker.biz/images/firefox-addons/Firebug.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />   <a href="http://lifehacker.biz/wp-sys/aHR0cHM6Ly9hZGRvbnMubW96aWxsYS5vcmcvZW4tVVMvZmlyZWZveC9hZGRvbi8yMzI0" target="_blank">Session Manager</a> is a handy utility to help you manage your Firefox tabs. If you’re a Web surfer who habitually visits the same sites every morning, all you need do is open the sites in separate tabs and/or windows, and then use Session Manager to save the session under a name of your choosing. After that, every morning start up Firefox and go to Tools > Session Manager, pick your session and voila, all the windows and tabs open up just as you saved them.     <img src="http://lifehacker.biz/images/firefox-addons/SessionManager.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />   <a href="http://lifehacker.biz/wp-sys/aHR0cHM6Ly9hZGRvbnMubW96aWxsYS5vcmcvZmlyZWZveC8yNi8=" target="_blank">Download Statusbar</a> - Manage your Internet downloads from a tidy toolbar, without the download window getting in the way of your Web browsing. Despite its compact size, Download Statusbar packs in more useful features than the standard download window. The fully customizable interface auto-hides when not in use, allowing full control without interruption.     <img src="http://lifehacker.biz/images/firefox-addons/DownloadStatusbar.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />   <a href="http://lifehacker.biz/wp-sys/aHR0cHM6Ly9hZGRvbnMubW96aWxsYS5vcmcvZW4tVVMvZmlyZWZveC9hZGRvbi80Mjc=" target="_blank">Scrapbook</a> -Collects web scraps of entire pages, snippets, images, media, embeds, etc. Also has a powerful notes feature that allows hand-entered data including javascript and HTML - so is a mini-development IDE. This is great for testing widgets and javascript code. There is also an “Edit before capture” mode that shows a toolbar for for interactive DOM object removal, entering of sticky annotation, remove selection and highlighting. The full power of this add-on is not well known by Firefox users.     <img src="http://lifehacker.biz/images/firefox-addons/Scrapbook.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />   <a href="http://lifehacker.biz/wp-sys/aHR0cHM6Ly9hZGRvbnMubW96aWxsYS5vcmcvZW4tVVMvZmlyZWZveC9hZGRvbi8xMTIy" target="_blank">Tab Mix Plus</a> is a Firefox add-on which greatly enhances the application’s tabbed browsing features. Included are dozens of options involving tab duplication, merging, focus, and much more.

So I thought that this might prove pretty useless to me considering that I’m already using tabbed browsing. Why would I need to have mini pictures of these and what purpose would they serve? What’s really great about this extension is the ease of use. Once installed, you just press F2 to bring up the interface. Not only is it that simple, but its pretty too. Your screenshot comes zooming in from the side of your screen and places itself in the middle of your screen with the current tab highlighted.       <a href="http://lifehacker.biz/wp-sys/aHR0cHM6Ly9hZGRvbnMubW96aWxsYS5vcmcvZW4tVVMvZmlyZWZveC9hZGRvbi83Nw==" target="_blank">Sage</a> - turns Firefox into an RSS feed aggregator that makes getting the latest news easy. Using the left sidebar, Sage displays your available feeds, lists your feed history, and then shows stories with summaries and images in the main window. <img src="http://lifehacker.biz/images/firefox-addons/Sage.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />       <a href="http://lifehacker.biz/wp-sys/aHR0cHM6Ly9hZGRvbnMubW96aWxsYS5vcmcvZW4tVVMvZmlyZWZveC9hZGRvbi8xNDE5" target="_blank">IE Tab</a>- Extremely useful for those sites that require Internet Explorer and for testing purposes, this add-on loads any Web page as IE would display it, in the Firefox browser. A simple button in the Firefox status bar quickly and easily switches sites to IE and back. You also can specify some sites to always open with IE Tab. <img src="http://lifehacker.biz/images/firefox-addons/IEtab.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Give a + rep if you like this thread </blockquote>
