I was remiss not to mention Firebug - I had forgotten about Firebug due to my own bad experience with it. My copy of Firefox was running so slowly and badly I couldn't figure out what was wrong. Eventually I started turning extensions on and off. The one extension crippling my Firefox was Firebug. I found Firebug made my copy of Firefox so slow and unwieldy that I got rid of it. Firefox is my main browser and I need it to be responsive and quick. I've uninstalled or disabled a lot of the plugins and extensions I used to have installed in order to have fast browsing experience. Some people <a href="http://www.nuff-respec.com/technology/firebug-firefox-slow-windows" rel="nofollow">keep Firebug around and enable and disable depending on whether they need it</a>. I find that too much of a pain in the neck, so my preference would be for two or more of the solutions above. Hello Maruis,

It gives you the ability to inspect elements, you can see which rules override other rules in the cascade. Disable rules, add rules and you can modify any value easily. Firebug also has a layout view where you can inspect the offset, margin, border and padding of the selected element visually. Firebug has become one of the most important tools in my web design and development toolbox... In addition to CSSEdit and the Web Developers Toolbar, I use firebug extensively to debug my CSS.
