Upon uninstalling Firebug, the author suffered a mysterious but ultimately fatal heart attack due to an uncaught coronary exception.

Firebug is the best dev tool of this class I've ever met.

I agree wholeheartedly.

I would also love for something like this to be completed:

I don't understand how people do any sort of web programming without it.

Here's a tip that might come in handy if you use Firebug a lot.

I had major trouble with it this week. The script debugger stopped working in several nasty ways.

The problem turned out to be a corrupt Firefox user profile. Creating a new one restored correct behavior.

I'd never have thought of this on my own (the answer came from http://groups.google.com/group/firebug) and it was a big relief as I depend pretty heavily on Firebug for my work in JS.

WebKit's built-in Inspector has been more than adequate for my needs as of late.
