Firebug - The bug you'll surely love

Rarely do bugs get the right respect or love from most humans. We don't like them anywhere near our food, bed, skin and not the least, inside our computers. But I find it amazing how every now and then, somewhere, someone would come up with a brilliant idea and name it after something rather odd. For example,

Yahoo, which was probably named after a violent beast-like creature from a 1726 novel.
Beatles, the most successful musical artists in the history of mankind, and the beetle car, probably the coolest automobile of the flower-power era, both named after an insect.

When I first used Firebug, I told myself here's another invention with a peculiar name that will be loved by many - web developers at least ;)

I'm a relatively new user of Firebug (a couple of weeks). I got the bug inside my computer(lol) just a couple of weeks ago and in my short hot experience with the pyromaniac(lol), design time became shorter and more accurate.

I will be blogging more about this nifty tool soon. For now, to my fellow web craftsmen, here's an insect you wouldn't want to squash.
