Use Firebug in Any Browser

Just include this script on the site and you'll get a Firebug console that pops up for debugging in any browser. Not quite as full featured but it's still pretty helpful! Remember to remove it when you are done.

<script type='text/javascript' src='http://getfirebug.com/releases/lite/1.2/firebug-lite-compressed.js'></script>

  1. Save the file linked in the upper code to the UserJS directory as a JS code with .js extension and you will be able to use it in every page you visit ( In Opera this worked, it should in others too. Yes, I know, Opera has its own developer tool. ).

  2. Very nice !

  3. it worked in IE too….. Great!

  4. It’s very bad comparing to original Firebug.

    This is so awesome!

  8. It’s all good except as with all editors it won’t hold, I take out and
    replace Meta content, the one there is full of rubbish..
    refresh and it reverts back.. I have searched the net for 3 years
    looking for something on line and I sort of hoped this was it.
    Is there some little thing like here
    is it that simple, well what ever it is, it’s eluded me… and I’m
    slowly loosing the will to try anymore…
    all my blogs have $0.00 attached because I can’t change
    the Metadata, Please can you put me out of my misery.
