Browser Add-ons/Extensions

 The following are my recommended add-ons for your Firefox browser:

• HTML VALIDATOR (based on Tidy and OpenSP)
  HTML Validator is a Mozilla extension that adds HTML validation inside Firefox and Mozilla. The number of errors of a HTML page is seen on the form of  an icon in the status bar when browsing. The details of the errors are seen when looking the HTML source of the page.
  The extension is based on Tidy and OpenSP. Both algorithms were originally developed by the Web Consortium W3C. And now extended and improved by a lot of persons. Both algorithms are embedded inside Mozilla/Firefox and makes the validation locally on your machine, without sending  HTML to a third party server.
• The Web Developer Toolbar extension adds a menu and a toolbar to the browser with various web developer tools. It is designed for Firefox, Flock, Mozilla and Seamonkey, and will run on any platform that these browsers support including Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.
• Firebug – 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.  Firebug 1.5 requires Firefox 3.5 or higher.

Please note: As of 2/19/10, Firefox 3.6 is the latest verion of that browser. [download now]
