Firebug Lite for Google Chrome

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

Firebug Lite: HTML/DOM inspection Chrome Extension

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.

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.
