For those of you designers who like to use Safari on your Mac, but require firebug and other developer tools used by Firefox, there is away to enable the 'Debug' (Developer) menu in Safari and in turn gain some firebug like functionality. Although not *as* powerful as firebug, it is a handy replacement.

Here's how to enable it:

Method 1:

1. Open Safari.

2. Click Safari > Preferences (Or press cmd + ,)

3. Click advanced.

4. Tick 'Show the Develop Menu in Menu Bar'.

Method 2:

1. Quit Safari completely, if not done so already.

2. Open Terminal (Located in Applications/Utilities)

3. Type/paste: defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1

4. Relaunch Safari and you should notice the new 'Develop' item in the menu bar. It will now also be possible to right click on elements and select 'inspect element' just like in Firebug.

If you wish to disable the debug menu again, you can do so by re running the command but replacing the 1 with a 0.

Enjoy .
