One of the more popular extension to Mozilla Firefox is Firebug. Firebug allows the debugging, editing, and modifying of any website’s CSS, HTML, DOM, and JavaScript, which are integral components in a web designer and developer arsenal.

Some of the features of Firebug:

Just the way you like it
Firebug is always just a keystroke away, but it never gets in your way. You can open Firebug in a separate window, or as a bar at the bottom of your browser. Firebug also gives you fine-grained control over which websites you want to enable it for.

Inspect and edit HTML
Firebug makes it simple to find HTML elements buried deep in the page. Once you’ve found what you’re looking for, Firebug gives you a wealth of information, and lets you edit the HTML live.

Tweak CSS to perfection
Firebug’s CSS tabs tell you everything you need to know about the styles in your web pages, and if you don’t like what it’s telling you, you can make changes and see them take effect instantly.

Explore the DOM
The Document Object Model is a great big hierarchy of objects and functions just waiting to be tickled by JavaScript. Firebug helps you find DOM objects quickly and then edit them on the fly.

Execute JavaScript on the fly
The command line is one of the oldest tools in the programming toolbox. Firebug gives you a good ol’ fashioned command line for JavaScript complete with very modern amenities.

These are just a few of Firebug’s features. So, what are you waiting for? Firebug is a free web development too that will make your job as a web designer so much easier!
