Setting up the web browser

Installing few plug-ins for Firefox makes your web and Plone development easier.

Firefox
-------

* Install `Firefox <http://getfirefox.com Firefox>`_

* Install `Firebug <http://getfirebug.com Firebug>`_. This is the single most useful debugging tool you'll ever have.

* For KSS development, install the `FireKiss KSS plugin <http://kssproject.org/download/firekiss-1.1.xpi/view>`_ for Firebug. This will show information about KSS bindings via Firebug.

* Install the `Firefox Web Developer toolbar <https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/60>`_. This allows you to do useful things like clearing HTTP BASIC authentication or inspecting cookies.


Internet Explorer
-----------------

* `Microsoft Web Developer Studio Express provides very rich Javascript debugging facilities <http://www.berniecode.com/blog/2007/03/08/how-to-debug-javascript-with-visual-web-developer-express/>`_ for Internet Explorer

* `IE Web Developer Toolbar <http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=e59c3964-672d-4511-bb3e-2d5e1db91038&displaylang=en>`_

Aptana Debugging Extensions

Aptana's Javascript debugging extensions are installed when you launch Aptana Javascript debugger for the first time. `Here are some instructions <http://aptana.com/docs/index.php/Installing_the_JavaScript_debugger>`_.
