Must Have for AJAX Developers

  by namxam

This is one of the gems on my system. Whenever you have to create some AJAX interfaces, this tool comes in and supports you where ever you want. No matter if it is simple JavaScript debugging (with breakpoints) or stuff like modifying css, html or checking what messages have been send between browser and server. I love it ;)

    firebug 1.1.0b12

    This release has three small but important fixes:

    Issue 450: DOM Browser crashes Firefox
