Firebug had made client side web development the best that it has ever been. Impeccable, remarkable, fantastic and wonderful. ;)

Well, I didnt like the Firbug Lite much…. partly coz I m used to the advanced features of the Firebug…. without them it is of little help

firebug lite is nice. It’s obviously not full-featured. But the console functions work, and you are even able to call your custom JS functions through it.

My favorite part is that if i leave a console.log(‘bla’); in the code, IE doesn’t crash anymore.

Not bad, but useless for debugging json and other “eval’d” scripts

Nothing short of awesome. Living in an ie world, its a major contributor for my team to run firefox.

A phenomenal product I’ve recommended to all developers since it’s first appearance. Truly indispensable – we could not donate enough! Perhaps Joe should put a pitch in widget on his site, as should supporters who are so inclined!

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIXMLHttpRequest.setRequestHeader]” nsresult: “0×80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)” location: “JS frame :: http://m/s/j.js :: anonymous :: line 11″ data: no]

well, 1.0, and still broken, _and_ it breaks AJAX. go firebug!

i gues working on linux isnt a requirement for a 1.0 release these days – maybe im just jealous of all you who can use this awesome tool..

cant wait till it works so i can donate :)

I’d too definitely like to keep Firebug Lite on peoples radar so it too continues to get some love.

I think the last time something this cool happened was when the general community made the switch to 5th-gen browsers. ;) I saw a demo of some of the new features yesterday, and it’s like Joe thought of all those “little things” – eg. being able to edit box model attributes live in-line by clicking a value (ie. top padding), and using your up/down arrow or page up/down keys to change them. Can’t thank him enough for all the work he’s put into Firebug.

Firebug, as well as Tidy are the most useful tools in my everyday life. David, where can you get Firebug Lite? I could always use help in debugging the mysteries of IE, haha!

This is just an amazing add-on. It has saved me so much time. And Firebug Lite for IE/Safari/Opera makes debugging tolerable on those browsers.

I just read the atricle mentioned here: http://ajaxian.com/archives/ajax-debugging-with-firebug

I had no idea about the performance profiler. This is awesome!

Excellent guys! This is the bomb. I was having problems with the way-to-old version I had installed and popped over to their site to see about a fix and stumbled onto the 1.0. Lovin’ life :)
