Among the information are the objects that get transferred, detailed CSS and HTML information, JavaScript debugging and more. The Firebug extension divides the screen in an upper and lower part with the lower part displaying the web development information to the user.

Widerbug is a tweaked version of Firebug that has been specifically designed for widescreen monitors. Instead of dividing the computer screen vertically it divides it horizontally by displaying the Firebug information in a sidebar on the right side of the web browser. This is good news for web developers who use widescreen monitors to work on their web development projects.

A previous installation of Firebug has to be uninstalled from the web browser before Widerbug can be installed to avoid complications. The web development application can then be installed and uses the same shortcuts as Firebug with the only difference that the screen is opening in the right pane.

The only possible problem that users could run into are update delays as the developer of Widerbug needs to update his extension whenever Firebug gets updated.
