FireBug - FireFox Extension that every web developer should have

November 9th, 2006 by Ivan Uzunov

FireBug is FireFox extension that allows you to select an object on the web page and see its HTML code, styles and everything that you need. It allows you to monitor JavaScript, CSS, HTML and even Ajax.

Here are just a few the capabilities 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

The official page of FireBug is  http://www.joehewitt.com/software/firebug/. You can download it here
