Yes, yes it is. And after using it extensively to help redesign my current template so it’s all CSS and works in all the browsers I found out how awesome it was.

No more need to use dreamweaver for anything, firebug can do it all within the browser and now I think it’ll become another one of my 100% install everywhere I go extensions much like colorzilla, measureit, and web developer toolbar

Indeed! I’m most enamored of the CSS viewer/editor, but, then again, I write webpages in vi; WYSIWYG mostly happens to other people. :)

Great link. That’s definitely a must-have extension.

It had me at “click an element and see all the CSS rules that are affecting it,” and that’s not even scratching the surface.

And I thought the Web Developer extension was cool.

I agree wholeheartedly.

@Mark Jaquith: I know, its pure genius…

I find more and more useful everyday. Note the Beta 5 release was the first to include “support for Firefox extension updates” so be sure to upgrade if you’re using 4 or below.

ps - @scud: you may be interested in Firefox Portable.

I recently started using Firebug and love the xmlhttp header debugging feature. I’m lovin it. ;-)

If you like Firebug you might also give HTML Validator for Firefox a try. It’s based on Tidy by the W3C and works quite fine for HTML Validation.
