I searched on each of these with no hits, so it looks like they've never been mentioned before.
Firebug -- this is a firefox plugin which allows inspection of all html and includes, IMHO, the best javascript debugger out there. The coolest feature for me is the 'Inspect' option. You can mouseover any DOM element on a page, and it will show/highlight it's html in the details window. Great for easily sniffing out form var names and quickly seeing how something is done on a page.

TableTools -- I just found this the other day. I was trying to get some html table data in an excel spreadsheet (think arbi data). IE has this option in the context menu, but it sometimes grabs the wrong table. Plus I don't even like opening up IE to begin with. This firefox plugin allows you to rightclick an HTML table, and then copy it to the clipboard in a tab delimited format. Then you just paste into excel. However, another COOL feature is that you can rightclick a table and sort it WITHIN the original HTML page.

FreeMind -- This is an opensource mindmapping program that is GREAT for throwing out and organizing ideas/requirements. As your ideas evolve, you can drag and drop your notes however you'd like. I have used this from the beginning of a project to the end, and it is highly recommended.
