This is the last of the “Eight Web Developer Must Have Firefox Extensions” – but all good things (sometimes) must come to an end. If you’re visiting this site for the first time, you’ll find the previous7 must have extensions simply by using the ‘way back machine’ to visit the last 3 Fridays. Thanks.
Firebug – This is probably the most important web development tool. This Firefox add-on allows you to browse and tweak HTML, CSS and JavaScript on a desired web page and preview the changes on the fly. It places an icon on the right-side of the status bar that informs you of errors in a web page. When you click on the icon it opens up a window that displays the line in which the error is found – this way it is easy to track errors on your web pages. In the Inspect mode hover with your mouse over a desired element and it will display all the codes that generate that element much better than using the Page source that most browsers offer. It takes a whole page to write on FireFTP.

That's a very handy tool, especially if you do things on the fly and aren't able to edit your pages all the time, just tracking changes etc is useful.
