How to Install Firefox's Firebug Add-on
Firefox's Firebug Add-on is an application that will help you detect "bugs" on any website you are creating or designing. That is, it will tell you where are any mistakes or conflicts with the code that are making the page show incorrectly. Firebug will also allow you to make "live" corrections so you can go back to the code and change it.
