capybara-firebug provides a dead-simple way to run scenarios with Firebug enabled under the selenium driver. 1. Install the gem 2. `require 'capybara/firebug'` in env.rb 3. Tag a scenario with `@firebug` 4. Run it Firebug will be set up so that all features are fully enabled on every page. You'll want to be able to pause the scenario at some point to inspect things in Firebug. A step definition for `Then stop and let me debug` is provided for this purpose. When executed, it breaks in the Ruby debugger.
