Firefox plugins for development

ColorZilla

This has proved to be very useful to me. You can eyedrop any colour (I'm going with my native spelling here) on any web page, and also on the chrome if you're inclined!

Web Developer Toolbar

The ruler is very useful! Not to mention everything else :)


VirtualBox makes development pretty easy since you can have a virtual machine be the "server" and browse the pages from your main OS. This is especially true if the OS you're targeting isn't the one you're developing for.
