Great Firefox Extension - FireBug

November 13th, 2006

I am always on the lokout for some helpful extensions for the Firefox browser and here is one that every developer should use - FireBug.

You can download FireBug here: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1843/

Here are the features of FireBug:
* JavaScript debugger for stepping through code one line at a time
* Status bar icon shows you when there is an error in a web page
* A console that shows errors from JavaScript and CSS
* Log messages from JavaScript in your web page to the console (bye bye “alert debugging”)
* An JavaScript command line (no more “javascript:” in the URL bar)
* Spy on XMLHttpRequest traffic
* Inspect HTML source, computed style, events, layout and the DOM

I have used this over the last couple of weeks and have found it to be of great help to my development.

Maybe you will as well.
