Comments from those who selected Firebug as one of their Top 10 Tools in 2008

• "Sometimes sites (like the one from my bank) will not work with Opera, then I use Firefox. Firebug is a great Firefox extension for anybody doing any web development. It is by far the easiest way to creates themes/skins for applications like Drupal, Moodle or Wordpress: just use the "Inspect this" button!"  Hans de Zwart
