Firefox Add-ons for Designers
Enjoyed this post from SitePoint with a useful collection of Firefox add-ons geared towards web designers. I use a number of these already, but there are some new ones that I'll be checking out.
Colorsuckr in particular seems pretty clever and useful.

Very helpful. I already use screengrab but a few of the others look handy.

Color Sucker is great! Have you ever used Pipette?

I love that colorsuckr one! I am bummed that firebug doesn't work well with the new firefox. But aardvark still does for css.

Firebug rocks! Web developers here in Alaska love Firebug. I don't like adding too many plugins because it slowed performance.
Has anyone tried loading a bunch of these plugins with the latest version of Firefox?
I love these plugins!

My favorite is the seo tools. Lets you see the juice you will receive from you back links before you even get em. Great Tool!

Great list. Have used some of them before, but firebug looks pretty interesting. Another one that I have only recently come across is SeoQuake - still playing around with this...

Thanks for the info. Very helpful. Keep up the good work. Firefox has been crashing on me a lot lately but I love the adons.

These are always welcome... Thanks!
Firefox is the best with all its plugins and add-ons, but compared to Chrome on my PC or Safari on my Mac, it's just slooooow... Hope they can improve on that, because it has certainly being my favorite browser for years...

I love Firefox and recommend it to all my friends.

Thanks

I like the screen grabber! I am always taking screen shots and then opening Photoshop and cropping the picture to remove the browser. This will save me time!

Firefox played a revolutionary role in da case of Explorer. I never go for any other option as I have found it very user friendly the thing which makes it more attractive is Add on options. I have found some very useful add onz which really helps me a lot in my work.

I'd never seen the ColourSuckr one before - interesting idea!

I love Fireshot and Web Developer. Fireshot works for me because as I am designing a site, I can preview it and snap a shot and send it to the customer.
They can review it and send back any critiques.

Colorsuckr Does look like a good tool. Will definitely try out on the next project.

I agree with most of your top ten firefox add ons, the only problem is that all the add ons make Firefox so slow!
