Every developer needs Firebug

As a DIY enthusiast, I am always on the look out for tools that will make my life easier. And like other DIY enthusiasts, I regard one tool above all the others for being the most versatile - my Swiss Army knife! It is a veritable gem amongst all my other tools.

As a web developer and designer, the "Swiss Army knife" in my web development toolbox is Firebug - the defacto add-on for my Firefox browser. If you have not got yourself Firebug installed on your copy of Firefox, then click here.

Firebug has created such a storm, that it has cemented Firefox as the preferred browser amongst web developers and designers. This has no doubt caught Microsoft's attention, whose previously vice like grip on the browser market has been slackening as Firefox has steadily grown in popularity. Microsoft (bless them) have only just begun to ffer something similar in their latest browser.

Be sure to keep an eye out here for forthcoming Firebug releases, including one for Google Chrome.
