Firebug is the essential Firefox plugin for web developers

Wed, 21 Apr 2010 14:25:39 -0500

Firebug is the essential Firefox plugin for web developers:

Just a quick rant. If you do anything with the web including design, layouts, coding, programming, etc and you don't use the Firebug plugin for Firefox, you should look into it. I've been using it for about the past 5 months and it has made my life so much better, especially when troubleshooting CSS issues or when looking at other websites to see how they achieve specific layouts and functionality. http://getfirebug.com

100% discount if you tell 'em daveyank sent you. Okay, it's already free. ;)

Seriously, it has saved me so much time!
