Install the Firefox Web Developer toolbar.  Miscellaneous->Show Ruler.
You can also find the size of a particular image or any other screen
element with Information -> Display Element Information (Ctrl-Shift-F).

The Firefox Firebug extension also has measurements, easily accessible
in the context menu Inspect Element -> Layout tab on the right.  It does
many things the Web Developer toolbar doesn't, so I always install both.
