Uncover fonts used by websites with FontFinder Firefox Extension
I am always trying to find the font, size and line spacing that makes for the most readable website text. I will come across websites who have a very readable text and will mess around trying to decipher their CSS code. Often it is just a waste of my time.
This problem is solved with the Font Finder Firefox extension.

Select Font Finder from the right click context menu.
Font Finder will display the CSS used to style the text. It is just that simple!
What a time saver!

I was hoping that it would show the font currently being rendered by the browser instead of the entire font family. Not so lucky.
