How to Use Firebug on Google

Firebug, a Web development tool originally released for the Firefox Web browser, lets you view a website’s source code for troubleshooting or optimization purposes. Firebug also gives you the ability to see what the website would look like if certain elements of the source code were changed, without the change impacting users of the live website. Although the full version of Firebug is only available for Firefox as of the date of publication, there is a reduced-functionality version for Google Chrome called Firebug Lite. If you prefer to browse the Web on Chrome or need to develop a website that works well with both browsers, install the Firebug Lite extension for Google Chrome.
