Best. Firefox. Extension. EVAR!
Whenever I start to get an ego about my skills, someone like Joe Hewitt comes up with some shit like FireBug, the best Firefox extension ever.
It does so much, so well, it's ridiculous. Web pages are no longer opaque.
FireBug is the rare tool that isn't an incremental improvement, but a substantial one.
I introduced this to the Pragmatic Ajax guys at the first day of my seminar; by day two, they had it installed on their laptops.
And one guy built it. A guy from New Jersey, no less. Rock.
Hell yeah. I normally browse in Safari or NetNewsWire (still WebKit, but I have JS turned off), but when I'm debugging something non-trivial I go straight for Firefox with FireBug. It definitely shaves at least half the time off what it used to take me to track something down.
I'd really like to see the other browser vendors copy FireBug. A Firefox-only debugging tool is useful to me, but not *really* useful because Firefox is not typically where I have issues in the first place.
