Firebug
Firefox is a popular browser with developers, partially due to the Firebug addon (available at http://www.getfirebug.com/), which was developed initially by Joe Hewitt and is now maintained by the Mozilla Foundation. This tool has increased the productivity of web developers worldwide by providing insights into code that were never before possible.
对开发人员来说，Firefox是一个时髦的浏览器，部分原因是Firebug插件（http://www.getfirebug.com/）由Joe Hewitt首创现在由Mozilla基金会维护。此工具具有前所未有的代码洞察力，提高了全世界网页开发者的生产力。
Firebug provides a console for logging output, a traversable DOM tree of the current page, style information, the ability to introspect DOM and JavaScript objects, and more. It also includes a profiler and network analyzer, which will be the focus of this section. Firebug is also highly extensible, enabling custom panels to be easily added.
Firebug提供了一个控制台日志输出，当前页面的DOM树显示，样式信息，能够反观DOM和JavaScript对象，以及更多功能。它还包括一个性能和网络分析器，这是本节的重点。Firebug易于扩展，可添加自定义面板。
Console Panel Profiler 控制台面板分析器
The Firebug Profiler is available as part of the Console panel (see Figure 10-1). It measures and reports on the execution of JavaScript on the page. The report details each function that is called while the profiler is running, providing highly accurate performance data and valuable insights into what may be causing scripts to run slowly.
Firebug分析器是控制台面板的一部分（如图10-1）。它测量并报告页面中运行的JavaScript。当分析器运行时，报告深入到每个被调用函数的细节，提供高精确的性能数据和变量察看功能，（有助于）找出可能导致脚本运行变慢的原因。
