We have talked about so many Firefox add-ons till date but all on a sudden,I realized today that we missed out on the geeky aspect of Firefox add- ons. So without further ado, lemme present to you, 3 very useful apps for geeks.

1. FireBug

FireBug just makes web development so much easier with features like JavaScript debugging, providing network data, giving you in depth style information and a whole lot more. I was amazed at the potential of a small app inside a browser. Firebug is really worth mentioning and I can not but recommend it to you though I guess most of  you have fired it up from old times.

2. HttpFox

HttpFox is a much more powerful network monitoring add-in which will provide you with truck loads of information about what’s going in and out of your browser.

One annoyance with FireBug is the need to force a re-post of values to see what the response to a POST action was. This is where HttpFox helps out - it just does everything all the time.

Download

3. S3Fox

S3 is a great services for storing large amounts of data and making it available on the web in a very inexpensive manner. The downside is that tooling support is somewhat limited which is exactly the problem that S3Fox resolves.

Once installed it’s like getting a file explorer for S3 right inside your browser. Manage ACL’s, upload files, do everything you need.
