Firebug Lite for Google Chrome

Firebug Lite - a port of the popular Firebug for Google Chrome.

What is Firebug Lite for Google Chrome?

Firebug Lite for Google Chrome is a robust debugging tool that complements existing DevTools. It offers a visual breakdown of HTML and DOM elements and Box Model shading. Unlike its bookmarklet version, the Chrome extension allows for faster loading, toolbar integration, and the capability of activation per domain. Notably, it also has the unique feature of live CSS editing. Some limitations include the inability to read external resources, issues with pages featuring frames, and the unavailability of JavaScript debugger and Net Panel. Despite the limitations, Firebug Lite is an invaluable resource for developers needing a quick HTML/DOM inspection tool.

NOTE : This is a fork of Firebug Lite as the original version is not supported any longer by newer Chrome versions If you didn't use this extension before, and only think that you might need it - you're most likely better of with the Chrome Devtools ( press F12 or Control+Shift+I or Command+Option+I )

Overview

Firebug Lite is not a substitute for Firebug, or Chrome Developer Tools. It is a tool to be used in conjunction with these tools. Firebug Lite provides the rich visual representation we are used to see in Firebug when it comes to HTML elements, DOM elements, and Box Model shading. It provides also some cool features like inspecting HTML elements with your mouse, and live editing CSS properties.

Error: It seems that this page is opened before Firebug Lite was enabled. It will (hopefully) load after reloading this page. I already restarted my PC and open Chrome Browser after installing this extension yet I am facing same error for all page even it is not working neither in ingonito or in normal tab. This extension is pretty disaster.
