Mobile related Firefox addons

Some firefox addons which can be helpful (esp for mobile developers):
  1. Wmlbrowser : View wap/xhtml pages as seen in our mobile browsers. Try out http://google.com/xhtml , http://m.yahoo.com/ , http://mowser.mobi/ , http://mytoday.mobi
  2. User agent switcher : At times you would like your PC browser to be reported as your phones browser to test something. I have used firefox as my E61 browser by changing the user agent string to "NokiaE61-1/3.0 (1.0610.04.04) SymbianOS/9.1 Series60/3.0 Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1". You can google for your phones user agent.
Will add more helpful extensions as I encounter them.

    In fact, wmlbrowser doesn't know anything about XHTML, only WML.

    Right, thats for the wmbbrowsers on phone. But this firefox addon renders wml as well as xhtml. Try out http://google.com/xhtml after installing the addon.

    http://google.com/xhtml renders identically with and without wmlbrowser. It's not a WML page.
