Menu
I use Firefox to develop a web site and at the same time to browse the web, read my gmail, etc.
The problem is every now and then I need to delete the cache and or remove the cookies of the web app, but I want to stayed logged in in the other web pages I am visiting.
Do you know a Firefox plugin (or Firefox trick) that can help with this issue?

It is not possible to clear the cache for just one website, any clear operation that involves a cache clears the full cache. This even happens if you would use "Forget About This Site" to clear data from a specific website. With cookies and local storage this is possible, but for a cache this isn't possible.
In the left column, click Privacy & Security, and on the right side, scroll down to the Cookies and Site Data section. The checkbox for "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" works as follows: (A) If the box is NOT checked, then Firefox lets sites specify how long Firefox will retain their cookies.
Preferences → Privacy → remove individual cookies
They are grouped by domain, and you can eliminate all cookies from selected domain with one click.
Update: Option → Privacy → remove individual cookies

There are two add-ons for FF that every web developer needs and they are Web Developer Toolbar and Firebug, the Firebug extension YSlow comes in very handy too.
Web Developer Toolbar has great cache and cookie control down to individual cookies. Firebug lets you mess with the DOM and CSS directly for a page and YSlow is good for page weight and response times.
Be careful having Firebug enabled for JavaScript heavy sites as they really slow down. GMail will warn you about this and tell you to turn it off. I have had a problem trying to disbable sites with the menus when the tool is embedded in the browser at the bottom but opening it in its own windows the sites menu works fine.
I personnaly also like IE Tab which means I can quickly view a page in IE without leaving FF and I can also get it to load anything that only works in IE with it.
