I’m a full time web developer now. Million thanks to Firefox, web development is made much much easier. To make the web development process easier, there are many many extensions.<\/p>\n
A few of them I use for my development,<\/p>\n
1. Firebug
\n2. Web Developer
\n3. ColorZilla
\n4. MeasureIt
\n5. ViewSourceChart
\n6. FireCookie
\n7. YSlow
\n8. Delicious.
\n9. Twitterfox
\n10. CSS Viewer<\/p>\n
One problem I face when I have to work in a new machine or a new user account is installing these extensions. Not that I face this problem everyday, but this is something which is very irritating. One simple solution will be to backup the extensions folder and protect it safely, so that I can use it on any machine I use. Finally, I wrote a simple shell script which does this job.<\/p>\n
