web design

Always just a keystroke away, Firebug never gets in your way. You can open Firebug in a separate window, or as a bar at the bottom of your browser. Firebug offers you fine-grained control over which websites you want to enable it for. Firebug makes it easy to locate HTML elements buried deep in the page. When you’ve found what you’re looking for, Firebug gives you a wealth of information, and lets you edit the HTML live.

Firebug’s CSS tabs tell you all you need to know about the styles in your web pages. If you don’t care for what it’s telling you, you can make changes and see them take effect on the spot. When your CSS boxes aren’t lining up correctly you certainly want to know why. Let Firebug be your eyes and it will measure and highlight all the offsets, margins, borders, padding, and sizes for you. Your pages are taking way to long to load, but why? Did you write too much JavaScript? Did you forget to compress your images?  Firebug breaks it all down for you file-by-file. When things aren’t going right, Firebug lets you know immediately and gives you detailed and useful information about errors in JavaScript, CSS, and XML.
