Scott and Alex on Firebug

Posted in: Reviews, Development, Software

I don’t know how I missed upgrading to the latest Firebug for so long, but I’m kicking my own arse for not getting on it sooner.

Scott: I hope you are using FireBug by now. This thing rocks

Alex: been using it for a few years

Scott: the newest version is awesome with debugging and editing css

Alex: should make sure I have the latest

I also use the Web Developer extension

Scott: yeah, use that, it is just less “integrated”

I was using EditCss, but now Firebug does it better

Alex: upgrading to latest now

nice little “upgrade” button in the extensions list - handy

wow, how did I miss this upgrade?

dude

this roxors

Scott: fuck yeah

Alex: “inspect element” is so my bitch

Scott: on both html and css

Alex: aye

Scott: and you see the whole inheritance of css

and what is overridden

it is just amazing

Alex: and is *exactly* what you *need*

Scott: bingo

Alex: I should just copy/paste this chat into a blog post

Scott: go for it

    But seriously, firebug is a nifty little extension, isn’t it?

    I love this version too! It went from being a great plugin to being the One Plugin to rule them all.

    Firebug is hands-down the best extension ever. I couldn’t develop anything that’s AJAXy without it. I’m glad that I came upon it just as I was starting to try to write/debug an AJAX function for the first time. I’m sure it saved me a lot of stress because I can view the whole freaking DOM, no problem.
