I’ve been playing with the Firebug 1.0 private beta for the last few days and it’s quite a tool. v0.4 the last release of Firebug had already combined the most popular features Venkman, Console2, and the DOM inspector. 1.0 adds a entire new set of features. JS profiling and Net request tracing similar to Tamper Data are IMHO the most powerful. Joe has been hard at work and been fising issues as quick as we find them. Firebug now has enough functionality that it could implement and examine all the tips included in my entire presentation at OSCON.
The new website Get Firebug gives you a glimpse of what is coming shortly:
- Inspect and edit HTML
- Tweak CSS to perfection
- Visualize CSS metrics
- Monitor network activity
- Debug and profile JavaScript
- Quickly find errors
- Explode the DOM
- Execute JavaScript on the fly
- Logging for JavaScript
