Estelle Weyl has a great introduction to the Firebug extension for Firefox on her website.
I have to admit, to my shame, that I've had Firebug installed for perhaps a couple of years and yet never actually taken the time to understand how it works or what exactly it does! I just knew it was one of those things I "ought" to have as a web developer!! But reading this has opened my eyes to just what a powerful tool Firebug really is. I try to avoid javascript if I can help it but even just for HTML and CSS it has some very useful features.

You have to be careful with debugging JavaScript in Firebug, as Firebug itself is written in JavaScript, which causes all sorts of strange things to happen - so at work I no longer use Firebug for JavaScript debugging, and use the Venkman JavaScript Debugger instead.
But it's really useful for the HTML and CSS stuff.
