Firebug - Tech - Techie4Life

Firebug is one of the best Add-ons for Firefox IMO. Firebug is the Most Popular Web Development Tool for Firefox. It is an extension that every Web Developer(s) should have for Firefox. It allows you to edit the layout of the page, the source code including HTML, DOM, CSS, and even Javascript all in real time. Firebug also has the ability to host extensions just as Firefox does.

Why do I love Firebug so much? Well its because... Firebug integrates with Firefox to put a wealth of web development tools at your fingertips while you browse. You can edit, debug, and monitor CSS, HTML, and JavaScript live in any web page. More information at http://getfirebug.com/
