firebug - a developer's best friend
FireBug, "all of the tools you need to poke, prod, and monitor your JavaScript, CSS, HTML and Ajax" is about to make another major leap forward. Its developer, the amazing Joe Hewitt, has a growing list of fixes and features he's going to tackle for the FireBug 0.5 release and he's calling for your input.
Head over to Joe's blog and tell him what you'd like to see in the next version.
And if you're a web developer and you haven't used this outstanding Firefox extension yet, get it now! FireBug will change the way you work. It's got "a debugger, error console, command line, and a variety of fun inspectors" joined in a sexy clean and eminently usable interface. No one does it like Joe does it.
reactions, thoughts, comments, etc.
I love firebug I just wished it worked for debugging xul apps too(it does, to a limited point, but not when it's in a completely different window).

I just read an article on Slashdot talking about Firefox. Some things in it I think are stupid and probably written by someone who knows very little about Firefox. They suggest that Firefox integrate with Skype, but they don't realize that that is the job of an extension, not Firefox itself. That completely goes against the mission.
It also says that "Mozilla isn't giving many details on the soon-to-be-launched Firefox 2". Are they blind? Did they miss the two alphas, beta, nightlies, bugzilla, burning edge, and mozillazine builds forum? You can look up all the bugs fixed, which includes new features, and find a handy summary at the burning edge and builds forum. And if they wanted to try the stuff out for themselves, they could have tried one of the alphas, or if they missed those try the betas or a nightly build. They make it sound like 2.0 is a big top secret project or something.

Wow, commenting isn't what it used to be. I remember when a post usually got 20 comments easy. Not so many anymore. Is Asa Dotzler slipping onto the D list? Tune into his primetime special.

i think it doesn't quit fit in the gnome desktop. e.g. the go button and address drop-down don't line up..
