Firebug integrates with Firefox to put a wealth of development tools at your fingertips while you browse. You can edit, debug, and monitor CSS, HTML, and JavaScript live in any web page...

Selenium IDE is an integrated development environment for Selenium tests. It is implemented as a Firefox extension, and allows you to record, edit, and debug tests. Selenium IDE includes the entire Selenium Core, allowing you to easily and quickly record and play back tests in the actual environment that they will run.

Selenium IDE is not only recording tool: it is a complete IDE. You can choose to use its recording capability, or you may edit your scripts by hand. With autocomplete support and the ability to move commands around quickly, Selenium IDE is the ideal environment for creating Selenium tests no matter what style of tests you prefer.

The Web Developer plug in gives you a tool bar in Firefox, but this is no normal tool bar… this is the answer to your dreams. With this tool bar you can accomplish many tasks that will greatly help out when developing web software. There are way too many features to list here, but some of my favorites are: resizing the browser window to reflect different screen resolutions, outlining HTML tags, display form fields, view CSS, disable certain CSS styles, modify cookies, view cookie information, and others. There are so many great features of this tool bar, and it can drastically reduce your development time, and hunting down problems in your code.
