    Measure It, that nice measuring tool for FF completely disappeared. The similar "Page Ruler" got disabled too. Are there any reasonable alternatives to these two very useful tools out there? Any help is appreciated. :eek:

    Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but there is a product called JR Screen Ruler that may work for you.


    I tried it on Windows 7 with no issues.

    Unzip the file in a new folder and click on the ruler icon. The ruler can be stretched to fit your screen.

    That wasn't exactly what I was looking for, but it is a neat simple tool that works anywhere. So thanks!

    Hi Jakester, A quick look in FF Add-ons and MeasureIt 0.4.13 is there waiting for you!
    I could not find any reference to Page Ruler - sorry. Neil.

    Open FF > Tools > Add-ons > enter MeasureIt in Search box > Voila!

    Measuring photo pixels?
