Firebug, A Coding Pyromaniac

If you haven’t heard the buzz about this little add-on to Mozilla’s Firefox browser, let me enlighten you. Firebug is pure and simply one of the easiest ways to live-debug your CSS, Javascript and HTML pages. As a simple plug-in for the ever popular open source FireFox browser it’s a perfect addition to your coding programs.

– Visualize CSS metrics and box models
– Accurately monitor network activity
– Debug and profile JavaScript problems
– Quickly find errors throughout your web docs
