GroovyFish Posted September 1, 2004 Posted September 1, 2004 I don't know if I am the only one that didn't know about this, but I installed it today and am in love with it. Firefox Web Developer Extension "Adds a menu and a toolbar to the browser with various web developer tools. Current tools include converting form POSTs to GETs, hiding images, outlining block level elements, and disabling styles." I am chiefly in love with the CSS tool. I am working on a shopping cart with huge CSS file that isn't commented very well and I can never remember what controls what, so now in Firefox I can view the ID and Class details for each item on the whole page. You can get it here if you are interested. h**p://update.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=60 Quote
LisaJill Posted September 1, 2004 Posted September 1, 2004 yes, this is yummy, I've been using it for a long time now - helped so much on every one of my pages. It's one of the main reasons I don't use Opera or Safari for that matter... Quote
arvind Posted September 2, 2004 Posted September 2, 2004 Yep this is one of the best extensions, incredibly helpful ! Quote
borfast Posted September 2, 2004 Posted September 2, 2004 Yes, one of the best extensions I have in my firefox instalation Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted September 2, 2004 Posted September 2, 2004 I downloaded this extension yesterday. Thanks Ellen! Cool tool! Quote
TCH-Thomas Posted September 2, 2004 Posted September 2, 2004 What is this extension supposed to do. All it did in my firefox was to add a shortcut to mozdev.org. Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted September 2, 2004 Posted September 2, 2004 Did you close and reopen Firefox? It should have created a toolbar and right click menu with Web Devloper tools. Quote
TCH-Thomas Posted September 2, 2004 Posted September 2, 2004 Yup. I tried download/install and reopen a few more times, no luck Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted September 2, 2004 Posted September 2, 2004 I selected to install the extension while I was viewing the page. I did not download and install it. Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted September 2, 2004 Posted September 2, 2004 Here is the developer page for that extension and what it does. http://www.chrispederick.com/work/firefox/webdeveloper/ Quote
TCH-Thomas Posted September 2, 2004 Posted September 2, 2004 Sorry Bruce. Thats what I ment. I clicked the "install now". I´ll have a look at developers page. Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted September 2, 2004 Posted September 2, 2004 Thomas, in Firefox select Tools from the menu at the top and then select Extensions. Is the Web Developer extension installed? If so highlight and uninstall it. Then try installing it again. If it's not in the list it didn't install. Quote
TCH-Don Posted September 2, 2004 Posted September 2, 2004 I recommend installing from firefox > tools > Extensions Get More Extensions And select the browser version at top to see a list of all compatible extensions. look under developer tools for the Web Developer 0.8 Yep this is another nice extension, along with BBcode and Spellbound.

bizmo Posted June 17, 2005 Posted June 17, 2005 I apologize if this has been posted here already. I know I saw it somewhere here, but I did a search and couldn't find it. Anyways, a very nifty little tool for Firefox is the Web Developer Toolbar extension. The best feature is being able to edit CSS and see the results instantly in your browser. Again, sorry if this is a repeat, but hey, if it is, it's worth repeating. Quote
TCH-Don Posted June 17, 2005 Posted June 17, 2005 Yep its a great tool. merging topics for forum organization. Quote
bizmo Posted June 17, 2005 Posted June 17, 2005 Thanks! Now at least I know I am not crazy, LOL. Quote
queenpictoria Posted July 2, 2005 Posted July 2, 2005 Thanks! Now at least I know I am not crazy, LOL. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I really like your mouse graphic! Quote
