I've been using Mozilla Firefox since version 0.9; And I just couldn't stop using it. Even though it crash often (GMail, new Y!Mail simply doesn't like Firefox), I'm sure everybody can't dump this baby thanks to its awesome extensions.

So, long story short, I'm having love-and-hate relationship with Mozilla Firefox. Due to extensive crashes on Mac machine, I was trying to forget the extensions and use other browser (Safari, Opera). And you know where it leads to, ... yes you're right, back to Firefox.

Why I kept coming back to Firefox? Here's why:

Firebug

This is the numero uno, the most important extension for my life. It can serve both website designer and developer. You can inspect HTML, CSS on-the-fly and debuging Javascript. It's a very powerful extension.

All-in-one Gestures

This is the extension that could save your time and your arse from RSI (repetitive strain injury) for too much mouse clicks. Although it's mimicing the mouse gestures feature in Opera, this smart extension is recommended to everyone.

HTML Validator

As title said, this is a must have tool for HTML author. It helps you to keep the codes clean by alerting you if something is wrong / not valid.

Adblock Plus

It helps you to stay low against those pesky ads. Should be installed by everyone in this crazy advertising century.

Aardvark

Not as powerful as the Firebug, this simple tool is good for debugging HTML codes by removing any HTML tag (ex: <div>) and crawling in the nested DOM. It was Aardvark's era until Firebug released :)
