Using Firebug to Save CSS Changes
When using Firebug, you can save your CSS changes by following these simple steps:
- Once you have made your desired changes, switch to the CSS panel
- Choose the modified CSS file from the CSS Location Menu
- Press Ctrl+A to select all the CSS code, then copy it using Ctrl+C or by right-clicking and selecting 'Copy'
- Paste the copied CSS into your preferred text editor and save the file
Using FireDiff for CSS Changes
If you prefer using FireDiff, here are the steps to save your CSS alterations:
- Switch to the Changes panel after making your modifications
- Right-click on the CSS change in the log and select 'Save Snapshot' from the menu
- Provide a file name in the save dialog and save the snapshot
Important: FireDiff requires the Fireformat extension to save snapshots. Make sure you have it installed before attempting to save.
Keep in mind that FireDiff saves the file with all changes up to the selected one. If you want the current state of the file saved, choose the last change made.
Whether using Firebug or FireDiff, ensure that you are saving the CSS in the correct file. If the CSS is inline, save it back to the HTML output using the <style>
tag.
Alternative Extensions
While Firebug and FireDiff are popular options, there are other extensions like cssUpdater and FireFile that claim to enable direct uploads to your server via FTP. It's worth noting that these extensions may not be actively maintained and could be incompatible with newer versions of Firebug.
