Firebug (Firefox Add-on) is a web development tool that facilitates the debugging,
editing and monitoring of any website's CSS, HTML, DOM, XHR and JavaScript. In
Selenium, Firebug is used to inspect the UI elements of the web application
under test. (How to inspect the UI elements of the Web Application Under Test
will be explained in the next post. And also the reason for inspecting the
elements will be explained later).
