James Pickering,

As you are new to the Firefox extension 'Web Developer', I thought I should mention that it the has a similar feature like the 'Aardvark' extension that Chris Heilmann recommended.

'Web Developer' will display (by a shortcut key) the code structure and ID and CLASS in the status bar.

html > body > div#maincontent > h1 > span.h1-line 2

(Example from the WebAIM Forum, hovering a discussion's subject.)

Another useful extension is the 'Table Inspector' (by Gez Lemon) 'to reveal the hidden accessibility features of data tables, such as summary, headers, axis, scope, and abbr'.
