-                Logs errors in chrome files to the Error Console.
-  javascript.options.strict = true
-                Enables strict JavaScript warnings in the Error Console.
-  extensions.logging.enabled = true

-
-* Useful developer plugin.
-
-** Firebug.
-
-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.

-
-** Live HTTP Headers.
-
- * First by adding a 'Headers' tab in 'View Page Info' of a web page.
- * Second by adding a tool in the 'Tools->Web Development' menu to be able to display http
-   headers in real time (while pages are being downloaded from the Internet.
- * Third by letting you edit request headers and replay an URL (beta). Look for the Replay
-   button in the live window!
-
-This project may be of some help for the following:
-
- * Help debugging web application.
- * See which kind of web server the remote site is using.
- * See the cookies sent by remote site.
-
-Alternatively you can use fiddler2 (only Windows as it written in .NET)

-
-** Tamper Data.
-
- * Use tamperdata to view and modify HTTP/HTTPS headers and post parameters.
- * Trace and time http response/requests.
- * Security test web applications by modifying POST parameters.
-
-Based on code and incompotable with "Live HTTP Headers" extensions.

-
-** Debugging JavaScript in Firefox with Firebug.
-
-With Firebug you can use 'console.log(obj)' for logging. Also output can be grouped with
-console.group("name") to start a new indentation block, and then console.groupEnd().
-
-Same but with different coloring do 'console.debug', 'console.info', 'console.warn', and
-'console.error' functions.
-
-'console.log' can format strings in the great tradition of printf.
-
-'console.trace()' - to print trace.
