My new favorite Firefox extensions

Four groovy picks to enhance your Firefox experience.

Pearl Crescent Page Saver ScreenGrab!: Save PNG screen captures of any page loaded in your browser window. Capture a page, a window, or a selection.
Gmail Manager: Not to be confused with GMail Notifier, Gmail Manager allows you to check multiple accounts for new messages, and provides a preview of what’s new in your mailbox.
Dust-Me Selectors: Finds and reports unused selectors in your Cascading Style Sheets. One drawback: it doesn’t compare selectors across the site. Your selector may not be used on pageA.html, but may be used on pageB.html and pageC.html, but Dust-Me would report it as an unused selector.
YSlow for Firebug: The world’s greatest debugging extension gets a boost from this extension that measures your site’s speed and optimization.

I’ve been using ScreenGrab rather than Pearl - same features (including a couple of the ‘for-money’ ones) but free. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1146?id=1146

Resizable Form Fields is a nice one too:

My favorite would have to be Chris Pederick’s web development toolbar. It’s the swiss army knife of the webdev.

Thanks for the link to the Firefox plugin, Tiffany. This will save me so much time.
