The Firebug tutorials that I’m currently writing is focus on Firebug 1.05. but now we got new version of Firebug. So, I’m gonna play around with this beta for a while. I’ll update my previous article with new version if that beta is stable and I will continue in writing that series.

Updated on 13th September, 2007~ I have played around with this new version lately.  I found it very unstable. So, I think it is better if we wait a lit bit for stable version. For the time being, I will continue writing this tutorial focusing on version 1.05.
