#350 Firefox Extension -- The X-Ray Firefox Extension let’s you see the tags on a page without viewing the sourcecode. Once installed, the X-Ray command is available by right-clicking as well as in the Tools menu. When applied to a page it can help you see how the document was constructed without having to go back and forth between the sourcecode and the page in your browser. Can be a handy tool when trying to find flaws in your website's design.

RE #354:
The hibernate option can actually be selected without even making it visible by hitting Shift. Just hit the "H" key at the Shut Down dialog, and the PC will go into hibernate, regardless of whether the option is displayed.
