Tool Time Friday | Firefox add-on you can’t do without

By Morgan

Firefox’s ‘MeasureIt’ is useful and very easy to use.

It places a small ruler icon at the left side of your status bar and when you click on the icon you get a crosshair cursor and your browsing  page fades out.  MOve over to the desired area or object you want to measure and drag out a box over it – the width and height of the box will be displayed in pixels close to the box.  To get out of MeasureIt, use the Escape key and the page reverts back to normal.

Simple.  And that suits me fine.

Franca Richard,
Yes, it's true that there are other FireFox add-ons which, in your opinion, are better - not everyone can come in first.

Kimchi - No problem. A lot of people make that mistake. I even get junk mail addressed to Ms. Morgan Lighter. Anyway - think nothing of it, just wanted you to know.

Kimchi - Thanks for commenting - however, I'm MorganLighter and if you look at the pictures of who authors this site, you'll find I'm not a woman.
