Have you ever been interested in what extensions are available for Firebug? If yes, take a look at what I have found. Frankly, I was quite surprised how many Firebug extensions already exists out there.
I’ve decided that it’s time I made a top ten list of the extensions that I find most useful in my work and use at least on a weekly basis. I’m sure that most other web designers will have some of the more popular one’s installed but hopefully there’s one or two in there which are a bit more rare and may help out a few people.

HTML2FO ist a converter for HTML files to the new XSL:FO format. It supports most of the usual tags. If you are missing a tag or think a tag is not handled as expected please open a feature request item. You may think that you have a XSLT which does the same job. But html2fo does convert documents which are not XML conform.
The examples linked from this page expand upon a technique published by solarDreamStudios called footerStick, that allows for the footer of a Web page to appear either at the bottom of the browser window or the bottom of the Web page content – whichever is visually lowest.
Ravenous is a Java based webserver which does not in any way attempt to implement any parts of the Java Enterprise Edition standard. Instead it aims to provide you, the developer, with a simple easy to grasp way of developing solid high performance web sites in Java.
There’s an different approach to web page layout which is gradually getting some traction. The idea is that the layout is changed to best accommodate the window size. As you might expect, it is accomplished by using JavaScript to change the CSS of the webpage. Here are some examples:
CodePress is web-based source code editor with syntax highlighting written in JavaScript that colors text in real time while it's being typed in the browser
Ever wanted to test your website in various versions of Internet Explorer?
It is possible to run Internet Explorer in standalone mode without having to over-write previous versions thanks to Joe Maddalone who came up with a way of achieving that in November 2003. Basically, Internet Explorer is run by exploiting a known workaround to DLL hell - which was introduced in Windows 2000 and later versions - called DLL redirection.
Stunning CSS menu - best I've seen so far! After a couple of months playing around with this menu trying to simplify it even further, I have had a breakthrough thanks to an email from Ioan Sameli who had taken one of my menus and produced a variation on the theme, and now with THREE sub levels.
“DHTML” dropdown menus have notoriously involved nasty big chunks of JavaScript with numerous browser-specific hacks that render any otherwise neat, semantic HTML quite inaccessible. Oh, the dream of a lightweight, accessible, standards-compliant, cross-browser-compatible method! Enter Suckerfish Dropdowns.
We decided to create this script when we needed a compact CSS drop down menu for a project. Chrome Menu is a CSS and JavaScript hybrid drop down menu. It's easy to configure and search engine friendly. The menu links is based on a list, while the drop down menus are simply regular DIV tags on page. Thanks to JavaScript, the menu supports subtle but important effects such as delay before menu disappearance, and repositioning of the menu if too close to any one of the four corners of the window. The entire menu, including images and external files, is extremely compact. Thanks to CSS, the menu can be styled with a different "theme" easily, just by modifying a few CSS attributes and changing a couple of images' colors.
