I'm currently designing a website and just realized it would help me a lot if I would know my own cursor coordinates.

I mostly use Firefox for previewing the new page. So an add-on for Firefox would be great. I checked out Firebug, but didn't find the feature there.

Does anyone know how to show the current cursor coordinates in Firefox?

Try WebDeveloper. In Miscellaneous > Display Ruler. Wherever you click/click+drag you get all the coordinates.
