About ColorZilla
ColorZilla is an extension for Mozilla Firefox and the Mozilla Suite.
It assists web developers and graphic designers with color related tasks - both basic and advanced.
With ColorZilla you can get a color reading from any point in your browser, quickly adjust this color and paste it into another program. You can Zoom the page you are viewing and measure distances between any two points on the page. The built-in palette browser allows choosing colors from pre-defined color sets and saving the most used colors in custom palettes. DOM spying features allow getting various information about DOM elements quickly and easily. And there's more...
ColorZilla on Ubuntu/FC5 Linux
If you have the latest ColorZilla and it's not working on Ubuntu, try the following (at your own risk!):
- Download and install the official Firefox version from Mozilla.com
- Make sure you have libstdc++5 installed by running "sudo apt-get install libstdc++5"
- If that still doesn't help, try running "sudo apt-get install libxul-dev"
- Additional helpful packages might be gcc-4.1 and libstdc++6

Please contact me with comments, suggestions, questions or bug reports.
Acknowledgements
The Zoom function was inspired by similar (but somewhat different) Zoom In/Out functions found in the excellent Web Developer extension.
Thanks to everyone who suggested new features and reported bugs.
