I've been using pixel perfect for quite a long time, and grown to love it (despite it's annoyances). Now, when pp is no longer compatibile with fx 6, I'm looking for a tool to replace it.

I found x-precise and am one step from buying it, but I don't quite like the necessity to include something in source page.

I know that I can do it myself, maybe not as good as xprecise or pp, but I just don't have time right now.

I'm curious to know what do you use? Or do you stick to old fx, just to use pixel-prefect?

  • It doesn't look like this add-on is really incompatible with Firefox 6, maybe try [Compatibility Reporter](https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/) to enable it? – Wladimir Palant Sep 13 '11 at 06:22
  • It seems to be the simplest solution. Although the rest is working too. Thanks. – Litek Oct 14 '11 at 13:43
  • I have continual issues with Pixel Perfect - FF6-9 freezes frequently, or the PP tab freezes (unable to go to html/css/etc. tabs) - So now I use PerfectPixel on Chrome – Jason Jan 18 '12 at 17:27

I have been working for 3 years as a developer and created my own script for pixel perfect mode. http://jek-fdrv.16mb.com/pixp/

I haven't managed to add a layer in PixelPerfect under any of last Firefox ..27.x.x builds - checkbox is locked. I tried PP versions older than 1.8 it didn't help. I tried to find a decent alternative and failed. Eventually I simply wrote a bookmarklet that provides a similar service http://dsheiko.github.io/pixel-perfect-bookmarklet/.

Using the "Compatibility Reporter" seems to work for me so far. The only issue I recognized is a needed reload of the page, to see recently added overlays in the pixel-perfect list.

Just change line 15 in install.rfd file to

<em:maxVersion>10.0.*</em:maxVersion>

Also there are little issue with left position. To fix it change file panelAction.js at line 108 to

this.setPrefValue("pixelPerfect.lastXPos", this.findPixelPerfectXPos(overlayDivId) + 1);

at line 355 to 

xPos += 1;this.updatePanelDisplayOfXAndY(xPos, yPos);

After adding new overlay just refresh page or reopen firebug
