  1. Surf to this page on your iPad or iPhone.
  2. Click "raw" in the code above then Select All and Copy the JavaScript code. When you're done, go back.
  3. Bookmark this page and rename the bookmark to “Firebug”. As you can see, the URL is uneditable right now.
  4. Edit the Firebug bookmarklet, remove the URL and paste the bookmarklet code from above that you already copied.
  5. Choose “Done” (on the virtual keyboard) and you’re all set

I can install it, but clicking the created Bookmark doesn’t anything. The in the JavaScript built-in site getfirebug.com seems to have been discontinued by Mozilla. Would that break it?
