I finally tried out the Firebug extension for Firefox; man it’s good. Almost enough to make me switch to FF full time. As a web developer, it’s simply indispensable once you’ve started using it …
Firebug integrates with Firefox to put a wealth of development tools at your fingertips while you browse. You can edit, debug, and monitor CSS, HTML, and JavaScript live in any web page.
Combined with the GrApple (Eos Pro) theme, Firebug is making a good case for me to switch … if it wasn’t for the very un-mac behaviours like not using the keychain.
So, for now I’ll keep playing the dual browser game; Safari still rocks (apart from being a bit of a resource hog).
SteamSHIFT out.

Firebug is awesome! You can even put console out lines in your code for debugging purposes! Makes Javascript development less of a guessing game.
I assume you know about the ‘Inspector’ in FF where you can alter HTML/CSS on the fly? CMD+ALT+I
Im tempted to switch to FF full time but Safari just renders things so much nicer than FF.
