By no means a secret any more Firebug is a must have tool for all testers and developers working with Firefox.

What is Firebug?

Firebug is a Mozilla Firefox extension widely used for client-side web development and also used by web site testers.

What is Firebug used for?

You can edit, debug, and monitor CSS, HTML, and JavaScript live in any web page.

We use this tool when trying to inspect elements in the code when testing websites for accessibility.

We also use this tool within our compatibility testing to add in code on the fly to the page and alter various CSS properties and test the outcome.
