But when you're attempting to debug a page, Firebug lets you edit the javascript or html that's currently being displayed in the browser and see what effects it has on the page. Then you can save the resulting solutions into the original page so others can see it too. For example, you can open the CSS file that's affecting the page you're currently viewing and adjust the font size for the "body" section - this immediately shows up in the browser, so you can play with alterations in real-time. Once you see what changes you want to make to the CSS file, you can open save those changes manually back to the webserver and other users will see them also. Does that help?

Interesting... so you mean from there you can just simply save the page you are working on, yes? Sorry, newbie to html here. Firebug lets you edit code right from your browser?
