We use these a lot in my shop, and there's a schism of sorts between the Firebug and Web Developer extensions.

I've used both, but haven't gotten too deep into either one. Right now I have Web Developer 1.1.5 running. It's a bit less "invasive" than Firebug, but I'm not saying I won't go back and try the other one.
I run both at the same time, but usually keep firebug disabled unless I actually use it. Both have features the other lacks.
