There are multiple browsers out there to view the web but did you know that most of them also have lots of useful add-ons and plugins that really help with efficiency? I choose Firefox as my browser of choice because its smooth, easy to use, and there are multiple add-ons that help me out with day to day web design tasks. Here is a list of my top 5 favorites. Hope you enjoy!!
