If you are periodically tasked with debugging web applications, you may have heard of the Firefox HTTP Live Headers plug-in. This plug-in is useful for displaying HTTP request and response headers, and allows regular expressions to be used to control which pages and content are retrieved. I can’t figure out if I like this plug-in or the greasemonkey plug-in better. Choices Choices!
Yes! I love it! Also handy for replay attacks security research and fuzzing.
As time goes on, more and more quality web dev tools show up for Firefox:
- Chris Pederick’s web developer toolbar
- Screengrab!
- Firebug
- Firecookie
- FirePHP
- YSlow (not perfect but definitely fun)
- Noscript (yes, this is a web development tool, think about it)
If you liked greasemonkey then you may enjoy Stylish. It is a user stylesheet manager — like usercontent.css and greasemonkey had a baby.
