If you're a web developer or a JS developer, you really should know about Venkman, the JS debugger offered by Mozilla. This is probably the most powerful open source JS debugger available. It's cross-platform. It does JS performance profiling! and it's also a great example of the capabilities of XUL and the Mozilla toolkit as an application platform.
Today I learned that James "Silver" Ross got it working for Firefox and you can download and install the extension here. You can get more info at the Venkman FAQ and the awesome Learning the JavaScript debugger Venkman written by Svend Tofte.
Spread the word!

Thanks! Hopefully it will one day make it onto the installer build?
B-E-A-utiful! That's what the crowds have been waiting for. Thanks!
