Have you ever spent 15 minutes debugging your stuff wondering why you don’t see the changes you are making to your files just to realize you’ve been reloading the page from the wrong server? You were working on your local version while the browser was really showing what’s on the dev server?
Do you know that moment of panic when everything on the website is broken and you think it’s on the live server while it’s just the QA server that hasn’t been updated properly?
Then you’re probably glad to hear about Zac’s new Firefox add-on called Browser Border
The add-on doesn’t do much but what it does it does quite well. Once you’ve installed it you can have your browser display a border around websites depending on the URL of the website. My local working environment has got a green border around it while the dev environment has a red one.
It’s onubtrosive enough not to get into the way of development but obvious enough not to get overlooked. It’s still in what Mozilla calls experimental stage but it hasn’t given me any problems. So give it a try and download it here
