That's what I use, but I can also second Browserstack. To be honest, no real 
user squishes the browser. It is arguably better to test on real devices. CSS 
break points are arbitrary. Embrace the squishy and hope for the best : ).

In Firefox, the Web Developer Toolbar also gives an option that animates the 
title with the width (and height, which is less useful) of the browser
- this can be useful for quick ballpark resize tests.
