Firebug: Must-have web development Firefox plugin

I knew about this plugin already but I just upgraded to the latest version (0.3) and I believe it is now close to perfection. The best feature in my opinion is the inspector tab that lets you stroll though the source, style, layout, events and DOM. It also logs XmlHttpRequests for AJAX debugging and has a JavaScript console. I tried several FF plugins for debugging JavaScript and CSS in the past but this one has to be the best (until someone comes up with something even better of course).

    I’ve been using Firebug for a few months now with no problems. I upgraded this morning and it’s already helped me solve a few CSS problems.

    It’s only a Firefox plugin so you can uninstall it if you’re not happy with it ;)

    Looks nice. I liked the FF plugin, “Render Source Chart.”
