Total Validator

Total Validator is an online all-in-one web page validation service. Basically it checks your web pages are properly constructed, and conform to the W3C/ISO standards for (X)HTML and the W3C and US Govt accessibility guidelines. You can also spell check your pages, test them for broken links, and it will take screenshots of your page in a number of browsers you may not have to ensure that they look okay for everyone (e.g. Firefox on Linux, Netscape on Windows).

Total Validator is available as an online service for screenshots and for people trying out the validation features. It is also available as a desktop version for more serious use allowing you to check entire websites, including intranets. A Firefox extension is also available for ease of use.

SyncPlaces

SyncPlaces is a Firefox extension that allows you to synchronize your bookmarks and passwords between different installations of Firefox (e.g. Home and Work). It only works with Firefox v3 and above but is compatible with older bookmark extensions. It requires your own (or a 3rd party) Web or FTP server which is used to store the bookmarks/passwords centrally.

SortPlaces

SortPlaces is a Firefox extension that allows you to sort your bookmarks. It only works with Firefox v3 and above, using the new Places API. This plugs a huge gap in Firefox 3 which doesn't have any decent bookmark sorting facility at all. It is also designed to work seamlessly with SyncPlaces.

CheckPlaces

CheckPlaces is a Firefox extension that allows you to check your bookmarks. It only works with Firefox v3 and above, using the new Places API.

It checks that your bookmark URIs are valid and can optionally check if the pages still exist, if there are any duplicate bookmarks, and if you have any empty folders. You can also use it to restore favicons that have gone missing.

SearchPlaces

SearchPlaces is a Firefox extension that allows you to create and edit the bookmark queries introduced in Firefox v3, using the new Places API.

Although Firefox comes with a few basic queries, and you can create basic ones using the Bookmarks Organiser, these can't be edited and there is no way of using the many query options available. SearchPlaces fills this gap allowing you full access to all the options to create queries tailored to your requirements or amend existing ones.
