Mozilla is by far the best platform for web developers to build
standards-compliant
sites with. The tools which have been built
on top of the Mozilla framework make developing and debugging
websites, particularly complex or dynamic ones, an order of
magnitude easier than in other environments.
Venkman - JavaScript Debugger
Venkman is
a JavaScript Debugging environment for Mozilla-based browsers.
It allows you to debug JavaScript code running in a web page in
exactly the same way that you might debug C++ code running under
your OS. It features breakpoints, call stack inspection and
variable/object inspection, and allows execution of arbitrary
JavaScript code.

DOM Inspector
The DOM Inspector is a unique tool that can be used to inspect and edit
the live DOM of any web document, allowing you to see the page
exactly as the browser sees it.
The DOM hierarchy can be navigated using a two-paned window
that allows for a variety of different views on the document and all
nodes within.

Tutorial
JavaScript Console
Our JavaScript Console gives exact details of any errors found in
scripts in the page, along with a hyperlink to the source file. You
can also execute arbitrary JavaScript via the type-in, see strict
JavaScript warnings, and <xsl:message>
outputs in your XSLT.
The above three tools are available from the
Tools | Web Development
menu
if you opted for a Full installation of Mozilla.
Web standards reference sidebars
Sidebars containing references to the standards
for almost every web technology you
can think of, from CSS to XSLT, including HTML 4.01, XHTML,
and DOM 2.
These small sidebars keep the specs at your fingertips, enabling you to
look up the syntax for or status of any element in a second.

Mozilla Source Generator
Have you ever wanted to see the source of your page after
scripts have executed? Check out the Mozilla Source
Generator, which generates formatted HTML source from the current
DOM of the page.

There is a
long list of
documentation for web developers working with Mozilla and W3C
technologies.
