One of the biggest advantages of programs like Dreamweaver is the ability to see changes to CSS in real time. If you change a color in CSS, the live preview instantly reflects it. The problem is the "browser" that Dreamweaver uses only displays correctly for very simple websites.
Ideally, you could make a change to CSS and have a real browser update on the fly. Luckily there is a Firefox extension called Firebug that does just that.
Firebug lets you modify, add, and delete CSS properties from inside the browser and instantly update the page without reloading.
Firebug is perfect for putting the finishing touches on a website, figuring out a good color to use, or testing different background images to name a few.
You can download Firebug at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1843. Click below for a screenshot of me changing CSS on the fly with Firebug.
