I am trying to extend some Javascript in one of my pages and for quick “will this work” code it’s a huge pain. Basically it consists of editing code in my IDE and save, switch to Firefox, reload page, set breakpoint in Firebug, examine and repeat

Are there any Firefox extensions that will aid me in this respect?

The only thing I can find is using javascript: ... in the address bar, but that’s a huge pain, can only hold a single line, and there is no way of making the test code persist across a page reload.

    just use the js console that comes with firebug. You can write all manner of code in there and even declare functions and variables that can be referenced. if you need more than one line, firebug can do that too.

    EDIT: except page reload…. if you need to do page reload it needs to be saved somewhere. I would use a Greasemonkey script
