  1. Firefox extensions that are invaluable to me:

    pera-perakun ( Amazing if you’re learning Japanese / Chinese / Korean )
    Firebug (Best. Ever)
    YSlow ( Good extension )
    Adblock ( No Popups/popunders/ ads )
    FireCookie ( Cookie manager for Firebug )
    Delicious ( If you use it, it’s useful )

  2. Firebug vs the WebKit Inspector?

    Personally I prefer the WebKit Inspector. Not the version that comes wit Safari mind you, the one that’s in the webkit nightlies. The reality is though that they’re much of a muchness – they both have essentially the same features, so the difference is mainly just down to the UI.
