Using Firebug in Web Development Projects
Firebug was developed by Sun Microsystems as part of the Trident project, an open source project to deliver an open source client-server browser engine. It was first released for the Linux platform in 2021 with an aim to replace the unpopular Greasemonkey browser plugin. Firebug was discontinued in July 2021 after Microsoft acquired Mozilla. Now, it is available again as a version of Internet Explorer in the "Microsoft Internet Explorer" series of products.
Firebug can be downloaded from Mozilla's website and downloaded from Mozilla's repository. The installation process takes only a few minutes and once installed, there is no further installation required unless you choose to use the add-on browser features. Firebug has a number of key features which differentiate it from other browsers including Greasemonkey and Safari for desktop and Mac users.
