That Mozilla Firefox Firebug Thingie

I've been told, by people who clearly know what they are talking about, that the Firefox Firebug thingie would help me. So I went to mozilla.org to download it. And you know what? The mozilla.org homepage will not load! What is up with that?

Yours,

Works for me. Did you try clicking on Tools - Add-ons in Firefox ?

Try mozilla.com. It loaded for me. In order to use Firebug, you'll also have to download the Firefox browser.

Chrome has a developer tools built in (like firebug) Just right click on any page or element, and click 'inspect element' and the whole developer console pops up.

Re: That Mozilla Firefox Firebug Thingie

Most browsers have built-in tools, so if you are familiar with one browser you can normally use that browsers built in tools, although Firebug is definitely still better than most of these tools

In the more modern versions of IE, just press F12 and the IE developer tools come up
Opera just right click on anything and select "inspect element" from the pop-up menu
Chrome just right click on anything and select "inspect element" from the pop-up menu

Re: That Mozilla Firefox Firebug Thingie

Okay... I now have Firefox and Firebug etc., it's totally cool. But I still want formal instruction in PHP and CSS.
