Firefox

I finally got around to installing Firebug (http://getfirebug.com/). After repeatedly hearing good things, the time had come to check it out. I wish I hadn't waited so long. So far I'm only scratching the surface of what it can do, and it's awesome!

Simon Wilson recently blogged about a Firefox extension named Tamper Data. Like Wilson, I seldom need to play around with data submitted from the browser. However, the request/response display looks very handy and the graphing feature Wilson highlighted is golden. I could have really used this in my last job instead of resorting to Ethereal.
