Web Developer Toolbar

If you have ever developed websites you have to get this Firefox add-on. This tool bar can turn on and off anything such as Javascript, CSS, Images and more. Basically you can test for anything to see if your webpage is stable when people have all those turned off. The toolbar has other features that are handy too. You can test for pretty much anything. Its also great for debugging too.

Firebug is every web developers friend

Have you ever built an HTML page and styled it thinking it was going to look like the mock up you created just to view it on a web browser and find out that you have block elements going places you never thought possible. This is the point where the browser leaves you wondering “WHY IS THAT THING OVER THERE!”.

Luckily there is a tool out there that can help you see whats actually going on and that tool is called Firebug. Firebug is a plugin for Firefox and can help a ton when debugging or styling a webpage. It gives you a visual of whats going on by hovering over elements. I also use it to optimize my CSS. Sometimes you might have way to many statements telling your <p> tags to do the same thing. That can lead to a bunch of unnecessary code that increases the size of your css files.

Download and install Firebug. Trust me it helps.
