Firefox can be very useful for professional web design and developers, as you will see below. At a web Development Company in Lahore, we love Firefox, a fast and efficient Internet browser.
Firefox, more than a browser, can be considered as a very complete program to which many extensions can be added, which can serve many purposes. One of them is the design and development of web pages. There are several extensions that make life easier for developers and designers, as they provide functions and resources with which you can save a lot of time when working. The Graphic Rating site has selected 8 “must-have” plugins for developing and designing web pages.
Firebug
This extension contains many plugins focused on different development specialties. There are so many features that it is difficult to describe them all in such a small space, however, some of the most important are: handling of Cookies, sessions, style sheets, JavaScript console, and much more in real-time.
Firebug is a discontinued free and open-source web browser extension for Mozilla Firefox that facilitated the live debugging, editing, and monitoring of any website’s CSS, HTML, DOM, XHR, and JavaScript.
Web Development Toolbar
This toolbar allows you to scan a site since you can modify and view elements that are part of the structure. For example, images, divs, headings, paragraphs, columns, etc. It is also a very useful resource when working with style sheets since it allows you to show or hide elements to make it easier to understand the structure of a site.
YSlow
The optimization of resources is very important, so this extension provides a good way to visualize the load time of each page, with which you can identify which elements are the ones that take the most time to download. Search engines place special emphasis on optimized pages that don’t take too long to order.
Good PageSpeed/YSlow values help browsers render elements faster. These are the things that browsers use to build and display pages… A good PageSpeed/YSlow score means that your page is optimized to be rendered by the browser as fast as possible.
Colorzilla
There are times when we come across interesting colors, but usually, we don’t have the tools to know specifically what color it is. This extension is similar to the eyedropper tool in image editing programs since it allows you to know any color that is on the screen.
ColorZilla is a browser extension that allows you to find out the exact color of any object within your web browser. This is especially handy if you want to match elements on your page to an image’s color.
Fireshot
Collaboration and feedback on a design are very important, and this is where Fireshot comes into play, since it allows you to make annotations, recommendations and comments on the interface, directly from the browser, and with the possibility of sharing these annotations with other people.
Pencil
Design and layout are very important parts, and what better than being able to carry them out from the same browser window. This extension allows you to set up a design and drafting environment without the need to exit Firefox.
IE View / Opera View / Safari View Win / Chrome View
It is very important to make sure that a design looks the same in different browsers, and in different operating systems. Some browsers tend to be conflicting, especially Internet Explorer. This set of extensions allows you to view the sites as if they were opened in several browsers at the same time, ensuring the maximum possible compatibility.
CodeBurner
It is a library with references to properties, methods, and elements of HTML and CSS, which can be accessed directly from the browser, saving a lot of space and time, if you are not very familiar with these concepts. It is a very useful and above all discreet resource for help and reference.
