This was a very practical and useful article! 🎉

Using the right animations in web projects can truly transform the user experience and bring life to the projects.
The list you provided was very comprehensive and accurate, especially tools like GSAP and Anime.js, which are always among my top choices.
I believe in 2025, the use of these tools will grow even more, as animations are no longer just for aesthetics but have become a crucial part of user interactions.
Thank you for sharing this amazing list 🙌

Great question! If you're looking for efficient extensions to test JavaScript code on Firefox using Visual Studio Code, here are a few recommendations:

1️⃣ Debugger for Firefox – Allows you to debug JavaScript code directly in VS Code with Firefox’s developer tools.
2️⃣ Live Server – Runs your project in a local development server and automatically refreshes changes.
3️⃣ Quokka.js – A real-time code execution tool that shows results as you type.
4️⃣ ESLint – Helps catch JavaScript errors and enforces best practices.

For testing in the Firefox browser specifically, the Firefox Developer Edition is also a great choice, as it comes with enhanced dev tools.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you need more suggestions.

Thank you too much. I would give you feedback tomorrow. But noting worth I have yet installed Live server. It tests only CSS and HTML on browsers.

OK. It works. Debugger for Firefox ! But I have some another problems.

Firstly, why each time I wrote in Javascript, document.getElementsByClassName("specified class").innerHTML="text";
with the class in the body, it doesn't work ?

I was enforced to use id instead of class to have expected results. Why by class doesn't work ?
