ShowIP
This shows you the IP address of server you are connected to in your status bar and always you to run whois, netcraft, Whoishostingthis.com, and ip2country. Good for security. If your at a wifi Hotspot and it shows your web-mail log-in page IP address is in the same LAN subnet, you are probably the victim of DNS Poisoning or a man-in-the-middle attack my friend. It might be worth your time to investigate the IP or move to a less hostile network.

These two work together. Firebug can help you, in real time, debug a web page, highlights the code section on the page. also allows you to edit the code and then update it in real time (great for modifying web forms ;-] ). Firecookie allows you to look at your site cookie in real-time and edit and delete values in real time. All this is nicely done at the bottom of the browser! A MUST FOR WEB DEVELOPERS AND HACKERS ALIKE!

This tool allows you to right click and quickly craft advanced google searches based on the information on the web page using google operators like intitle: site: etc. Good tool for digging into a site using google ;-) if your unfamiliar with all this I suggest you read a book called "Google Hacking for penetration testers"
