How to find out the amount of data that's flowed through FF on each site visited? Also, how to find out how many bytes particular extensions are sending/receiving?

I need to work out what [if anything] is draining my bandwidth, because it's causing me problems with supposedly exceeding bandwidth limits on a privacy-related extension.

both of these appear from their descriptions to be general tools that will monitor traffic for individual applications rather than extensions within and application. However, having read and understood my question, do you believe that one of these will help me work out which of my Firefox extensions is draining my bandwidth? if so, do you have any opinion as to which might be the more useful for my particular problem?
