The latest versions of Firebug in Firefox feel like they've been regressing. Performance is abysmal. This is a common complaint amongs everyone on my team, and increasingly among many other web developers online.

Are there any alternative extensions for Firefox that gives similar functionality(DOM inspector, Net tab, console)?

Fidler Web Debugger is an option, although it's not as integrated.

Other alternatives include:

The IE8 Debugger is pretty good, for IE. They seemingly took several cues from Firebug.

@The Matt: The Developer Toolbar is not compatible with Internet Explorer 8. Please use the developer tools included with Internet Explorer 8. Press F12 or click the 'Developer Tools' entry in the Tools menu to begin using the tool.

Good call, thanks for the clarification.

I was asking about Firefox though, not IEx. I do use the developer tools in IE8 when necessary, but not that often.

I agree with you as far as Firebug's performance goes in recent releases, therefore I have found myself using the excellent WebKit Inspector - in both Chrome and Safari - and Opera Dragonfly a lot more recently.

Those are both great, but the OP was asking specifically about a Firefox extension.

If you were to post your specific problems about Firebug performance to the Firebug newsgroup or bug list, then we'd just fix them. No one has ever complained about performance. We had some problems with memory but these were fixed. jjb

I need to view my files only without images, tables and all. I am already using Firebug, but I am not satisfied with it. So I need to have another alternative, please tell me, if available
