One of the most common complaints that Firebug users have about the Firebug command line is that it is basically a text input field.
Whilst this may be sufficient for the small command line it is not very well suited for the large command line.
Acebug is a simple Firebug extension that brings some of the awesome features of the Ajax.org Cloud9 Editor (Ace) to Firebug's large command line.
The most notable feature provided by the Acebug add-on is the syntax highlighting.
Acebug is cross-platform and it works on Mac OS X, Windows and Linux.
Here are some key features of "Acebug":
· Syntax Highlighting for large command lline, HTML/CSS editors

and of course all of the niceties of Ace:
