Joe Hewitt, of DOM Inspector fame, has developed a new Firefox extension called FireBug, which is sort of a combination of the DOM Inspector and the JavaScript console, in a frame at the bottom of each browser window. He only released it a couple of days ago; I happened across it when browsing addons.mozilla.org yesterday. It also allows you to spy on XMLHttpRequest calls, and offers per-page logging.
He says:
FireBug is just a few days old as of this writing. Consider this a pre-pre-pre-alpha release.
so be warned, but it seems to work pretty well to me :-)

So much easier than outputing the XMLHTTPrequest into a layer or alert box to debug it!
