I tried also from your link Sally, just now, and I got down a
..xpi file (as I did from Jim's link). Question is how to install
it? The one I got from your link (and going to extensions etc) is
a plain icon file called "web_developer-1.0.2-fx+fl.xpi" Curious
thing, it is sitting on my desktop all waiting to go somewhere,
maybe I will leave it there as an unopened chocolate for a while!
I am amazed at the number of developer tools there are. I am
thinking I might never make another website again if I get too
tempted by them, they would take up too much time!
I want this one though! As a matter of interest, iCab gets up the
css sheet if it is not happy with something in the css! This
might do me since it is mostly not perfectly happy with anything
(as it properly should not be... standards must be upheld, after
all, what...). It might be able to get it up even when happy but
I have not looked.
