Firefox is more and more getting to be my browser of choice. The tabbed browsing alone is (after a period of getting used to it) enough to keep me hooked. Add the vast amount of available plugins for developing for the web, and my needs are met.

One annoying thing that kept me bug tracking for quite some time had nothing to do with the browser itself, but with one of the extensions I had installed. So when you use firefox for developing your web proojects, like I do, be aware when getting unexpected results… it might have something to do with one of the extensions you have installed.

For example, in my case the extension doubled every POST request with an additional GET request. Not a biggy, unless you have processing code running which is not expecting the GET’s. My processes were being called twice for no obvious reason….. in came the extension….

So although the most extensions make my life developing web a whole lot easier…. it can also mean a whole lot of hasle if the extension itself is doing some unexpected things all by itself. Let’s hope the people devoting their valuable time to creating these extensions will keep the quality standard high.

If you haven’t tried FireFox already…… well shame on you… you should have.
