Firefox Extensions

A nice feature of Firefox is the availability of Extensions to add functionality to the core browser.

Since extensions are stored in your profile, you will need to install these extensions in your cs350 account as well as on your home computer to customize Firefox to your heart's content.

We use four Firefox add-ons in CS 350:

  1. The DOM Inspector to inspect a web page's DOM
  2. The Web Developer toolbar add-on found under the Developer Tools category
  3. The Firebug add-on for debugging JavaScript
  4. The Html Validator to validate pages and CSS inside of Firefox
  5. The Firefox Accessibility Extension add-on to check your web pages for accessibility

To install the add-ons:
